I've used GitLab before and had a very good experience with it. Meant mostly for private repos, however. I tried pushing it onto the teams I have worked with in the past but they resisted because they were unfamiliar with it and didn't want to deal with server maintenance. The latter was understandable. Still, this really is a great solution for those who want an alternative to GitHub, especially a decentralized one.
Albeit, I am little disappointed because I have finally started getting into open source and being active on GitHub, and now it seems the development community is vying for a way out. GitHub may not be open, it may be centralized, but it does offer the advantages of uniformity and easy discovery.
If people don't want to deal with server maintenance please consider GitLab.com (our SaaS) and GitHost.io (our single tenant offering where we do the upgrades and backups).
