It has light mode by default and a UI that I find to be really unintuitive, but what really bothers me is that ppl go from one for-profit git host to another for-profit git host when things like Codeberg exist. With GitHub you could at least argue that you can turn your hobby project into a job since it has a huge userbase and stuff like github sponsors, but what does gitlab offer for you?

TL;DR: It’s not Codeberg

GitLab is open source and you can self-host it.

How is that relevant if I’m talking about someone hosting their code on gitlab.com?

You asked what GitLab offered and I answered that question. I ran GitLab at work for years. Amazing project. Much value there.

GitLab is still a commercial entity, and looking for buyers I understand. Plex was once open source, but guess why everyone recommends Jellyfin now.
