I really enjoy using Gitlab due to its beginner-friendly user interface. The code review section is particularly helpful when I review the code of my junior developers. It assists me in writing comments, comparing old and new changes, and even provides insightful suggestions. I find this aspect of Gitlab to be awesome!
