I find the interface of GitHub (and therefore gitea) much more usable than gitlab's. Gitea is also easier and lighter to self-host than gitlab. Gitlab's CI offering is awesome though and really makes it stand out among software forges. Honorable mention towards sr.ht which is very appealing to me because of its lightweight design and usage of email for "PR's" and issues and soon IRC for chat.

Agreed, we switched from bitbucket to gitlab a few years ago, which was comparably better... but I still get lost in gitlabs interface when compared with github, it feels way too complex for the most common UI pathways. I now try to limit myself to the command line to avoid putting up with the complexity of gitlab UX.
