I've used it on personal projects and it's very good and the Gitea/Forgejo/Codeberg community is quickly trying to catch up with GitHub on UX and features. The only thing it lacks is the large network effect of GitHub, but hey, it's still a network and you can help it grow.

Another hinderance I found is that many edge webhosts that build your node apps from source code for you only have a GitHub or sometimes also Gitlab integration, but none for Gitea and it's children or even just arbitrary hosted git repos...
