I started using git from 2018 and my first remote repo service was gitlab. The problem I noticed was that gitlab had a little too much when I started using it. I mean, I was a beginner to git and even development and I was spooked by concepts like the readily available CI/CD and all other sophisticated features it has. This made me move towards github for it's simplicity. Don't get me wrong, I still use both gitlab and github, but my repos have rooted hard with github and it is now hard to move away.
May be I will push my next project completely to gitlab to give it a try.
Yes, gitlab is more complex than github at the first time, but when you use the CLI command tools it's very similar, but when you upgrade your skill, you will be happy to have started with gitlab.
Thank you for your feedback !
