GitLab Master Plan
GitLab has made a lot of great inroads and will continue to do so. It's all about momentum. Of course people are going the tools that are familar to themselves. However as more and more start to adopt GitLab (probably as a github replacement or small personal projects), they are going to ask for that more in the corporate world.It's also a matter of developing the maturity of the integrated tools. CI for a example. Does jenkins have a shit load more features? Yes. Does Jenkins do scheduled tasks? Yes.  But jenkins is also a massive ugly, unwieldy behemoth. Some issues like the Cronjob portion can be worked around in GitLab (webcron to build trigger APIs) but it's not as nice... yet. The CI feature is barely an infant compared to the age of Jenkins.  However for 90% of what I need? Works great. Well worth it to me.Every month they've been releasing improvements on numerous fronts and it's been amazing to see. The product has gone from "eh" to "wow" in about a year. I look forward to seeing if they can sustain this product growth (I'm guessing the 20mil will help).
