I was thinking the same thing. It is good to see GitHub get new features, hopefully the competitors do as well. As long as we don't end up with another SourceForge at any point, one is enough.
GitLab has been doing a pretty good job of releasing new features in their monthly updates. [Last month's 8.4 release](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/01/22/gitlab-8-4-released/) has a few nice additions. 8.5 will release on Monday, mostly with a focus on performance improvements, and there are some big ones :) Also a new Issue sidebar design!
