You're getting blasted for some reason lol
To add some context, GitHub's primary strength is integrating different services. GitLab's primary strength is being "the one thing" that you use. It really depends on your business which one makes most strategic sense. For small to medium, GitLab is great. Even large it can work amazingly.
However, I'll put my anecdotal two cents in and say that GitHub comes out ahead for very large enterprises, or if you do collaborative, or Business 2 Business stuff, just because of it's integrations. Integrations are king once you get to scale. If you're using GitLab + anything else, it's friction for each additional tool you use, rather than a force multiplier. At a certain point it restricts you.
