Phabricator is so much nicer to use for code review than Github. The ticket system is also much more powerful. I understand why people can dislike Bugzilla, it is not really meant for modern workflows and looks a bit dated. But Phrabricator is a modern tool which is easy to use, yet so many seem to abandon it for objectively inferior and dated tools. It is a mystery to me.
- gray_-_wolf 3y agoIt phabricator still alive? Or rather, phorge? I somewhat stopped paying attention, so I wonder if the fork is alive and well.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoI don't remember Bugzilla ever being particularly usable. In fact it's always stuck out as one of the things I detest about contributing to FreeBSD.
- thiht 3y agoI hated Phabricator for all the years I had to use it. The expected workflow was completely impossible to understand to me. And the name of the tools completely opaque ("Herald"? "Maniphest"? "Phriction"??) We ended up switching to Gitlab because Github-style code reviews are just so much easier to deal with. They hit the spot between "good enough" and "easy to use". Phabricator's bloat made it unbearable
- xorcist 3y agoTotally agree on the "cute" naming (and the cute strings too, turning them off on new installations is probably what most people do). If you can look past that, it is a well integrated and modern tool. Or was. Don't understand moving to Gitlab because of the bloat though. There are lots of lighter weight tools, but Gitlab is the whole kitchen sink and then some. The integrated-ness is part of the package with these tools.
- thiht 3y ago> Don't understand moving to Gitlab because of the bloat though You're totally right: it was years ago, and Gitlab used to not be as bloated at the time. I guess today we'd migrate to Gitea instead.
