Our experiences with GitLab have been really positive. GL may not be on par with GHE UX wise, but I don't really feel that this has been an issue for us. Coming from GH or GHE, GL is a little more difficult to navigate, but it's getting better with each release. The thing that probably bugs me the most is the home page for a repository being the activity stream. However, considering that we're saving $25k per year by using GL over GHE, I can happily put up with it.

I've never encountered the search issue you describe. We're using the latest GL, perhaps it was a problem with an older version?

Looks like we're still on 7.3.1. I don't see anything in the release notes for more recent versions about syntax highlighting, but they might have snuck something in, or it could be a dependent package change.

25k sure is a lot of money. Then again, can you put a price on the frustration of developers used to working with something better? Maybe.

25k is for 100 developers, and we actually have more users than that. GHE is really pricey. However, I don't hear complaints about GitLab, probably because everyone was coming from SVN, and they have little experience with GH.
