Well on the last deployment they pushed a change that has for 
effect to display a tree view of the files changed in a MR on the 
left main area and the diff on the right main area. I would have 
rather choose to keep a full diff in the main area and added a 
combobox on the top that display the tree, but apart that, no UI 
changes were anoying so far.

Otherwise annoyances i've encountered:
- two few very specific or minor bugs/problems
- a big bug in their link system but it is fixed now as it was 
"epic"

It's still good for your own stuff, and apparently even for big 
companies (even if they self host gitlab in this case).

In the worst of the cases you can use external CI for windows and 
osx. For example the binary release of dexed for windows is build 
on appveyor, triggered by tag pushes on the main repo that's 
hosted on gitlab.org.
