I've never felt like GitLab CI is more about testing software than anything else...

It's super flexible and you can do literally anything.

Yeah, I concur with that, and what's more I find the documentation so much better - Actions is maybe just as flexible (and if it isn't frankly that might be an improvement!) but the docs are extremely lacking. I do prefer GH for just general look/feel/ease of use though.

>>Philip+(OP)
When I last used it (Aug 2020) seemed like they were trying to evolve out of a stricter build/test/release flow, like Travis, and into a looser/more general workflow system, like CircleCI. At that point, it felt like the workflows were a bit half-baked – getting caching right between workflow steps so that you could build a performant pipeline that didn't repeat unnecessary work was tricky if I remember correctly.

Apart from feeling like they were in that sort of transition, GitLab's docs were fine, better than Circle's, but I find GitHub Actions much clearer.
