GitLab has been upsetting their paying customers for a long time. Features are constantly being shifted to higher paying tiers and every time I had a problem with something I found an issue on their tracker that's 5 years old, with countless "Another paying customer with XXX seats requesting this..." comments from their staff. We've had a hard time selling the price increase to upper management, the $5 per seat was perfect. We have tons of users who log in once or twice a month just to look at something and paying $20 for that doesn't make sense. Also, we really don't care about 99% of the features they keep pumping out. They're great if you're a smaller company starting out, but larger ones already have other tools that are established and won't be going away. I don't need a half baked JIRA clone, or half baked GitOps, or any of the other myriad of strange features. I only want required merge request approvals, yet it's all in the same $20 version. Oh, and I'd also like to use the API to retrieve project avatars, but that's one of those issues that have been open for years.
