I've always felt GitLab was better than GitHub (in large part because

use this as a great reason to move to GitLab.
I've been following the discussions (mainly on HN) on the subject, and
there are a few arguments against GitLab (i.e. the gitlab.com SaaS) as
well.
- The company might be purchased by a bigger one in the same way that
happened to GitHub.
- The conflict of interest between the free and paid tiers means that
some issues that are useful for open-source projects won't be available
to them, even though they are available at their competitors.
- gitlab.com provides features unavailable in the open-source
(community) edition to all projects, which means that migrating away
from gitlab.com and to a self-hosted instance would be a compromise
involving losing features.
In any case, I've always thought it was absolutely sick that that even
though GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab/Launchpad/etc. all provide basically
the same features on top of the standard ***distributed*** version
control systems, they are all completely incapable of talking to each
other or acting as interchangable viewers on a single set of common
project data. So much for the "distributed" in "DVCS".
Many people think so too:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013
Unfortunately it looks like the current plan for federation in GitLab
will once again be only in the paid version.
isn't it a niche for THE application that could be written in D?
