It's like Bootstrap, then React all over again in terms of all web sites looking the same and the "Claude look" is much more suitable for a literary site than a software product.
Label management is a mess too with almost no ease of use features. Lots of clicking when prior art already exists elsewhere.
Federation is another thing that's supposed to happen but isn't.
Action runners I like actually but their web UI is really confusing.
API is missing a lot of endpoints too. (Pretty straight forward for AI agents to work on as "good first issue")
No machine users or management of the same via Administrator. If you want to have a bot (not necessarily AI) you need to create a user with a hard to guess password and manage it by actually logging in as that user.
Another user will probably have their own set of things that matter to them.
As I've already said above, I do use it and love it but sort of half hoped Gitea would have proceeded farther since Forgejo forked away. It hasn't.
OneDev looks much more capable on surface to me today but I have not used it extensively yet and it has some features not included in the self hosted version. Not as much as open core projects but some.
Holding on for dear life and failing is more like it.
(I even heard "it's good for a laptop to be heavy" in the early 2000s)
I kid but that's probably what people have a problem with.
