I'm incredibly pleased about Microsoft's acquisition of Github, as I notice visible improvements every passing month. Considering Gitlab's pricing, I wonder why anyone would abandon GitHub Team or Enterprise plan in favor of Gitlab. Gitlab's costs are exorbitant, and they resemble Atlassian products, with an overwhelming number of features that are rarely used, cluttering the interface and diminishing the overall user experience.

I am not pleased with Microsoft. Yes, there have been some improvements. But GitHub Actions is very half baked, yet the bean counters at my company are asking "why do we pay for buildkite?". It feels like they are using the same playbook as MS Teams.

Interesting, I'm _extremely_ happy with Github Actions. But I have pretty basic needs, admittedly.

You mention buildkite as something you think is a lot better than GH Actions. I'm curious if you've also used the Gitlab equivalent and can compare (I haven't, really).

I would not not say buildkite is better, per se. I'd say it's more mature and much more flexible. Buildkite is easily "programmable" in a way that GHA is not. That flexibility is important for advanced/large scale use cases.

I've not tried Gitlab.
