The Github website is slow everywhere. It is truly a piece of shit software both in terms of performance but also UX/UI and everything in between.

It's a product of many cooks and their brilliant ideas and KPIs, a social network for devs and code being the most "brilliant" of them all. For day to day dev operations is something so mediocre even Gitlab looks like the golden standard compared to Github.

And no, the problem is not "Rails" or [ insert any other tech BS to deflect the real problems ].

Have you used gitlab every day in anger? I don't think you'd feel the same if you have.

I use GitLab daily and feel like it’s a joy to use. What do you dislike?

I rarely interact with projects hosted on it I'm always getting losts in unintuitive menus, for example: click on the tiny sidebar button > plan > issues just to open the bug tracker. The website also used to be bog slow compared to github, but thanks to microsoft the gap has been closing.
