Every time I have to try to find things on gitlab I have a generally harder time doing so than on github. Maybe I'm just used to github's layout, but gitlab's just seems awkward to me. Also, I think non-tech-savy people will inevitably be confused by having to click "deployments" to get to releases; and on release pages, below where you actually download files, it always says "evidence collection", which sounds really ominous (for end users)

I used to hate regex, but after having had to use it a bunch and slowly getting used to the syntax, I can sort of read it quickly, and fully parse it if I stare at a regex expression long enough. It seems like having a DSL like regex is important because it does something well with a much shorter section of code than the equivalent host language code that does the same thing. But, it probably takes as long to understand a section of regex code as it does to understand the equivalent host language code, so it feels like you're staring at a small block of impenetrable code, where you would otherwise be scanning a larger block of code. If that makes sense
Props to the authors of this language
