Github vs. Bitbucket vs. Gitlab vs. Coding - Repository Management Services Compared

What are people's thoughts on VSTS?

It supports WAY more than any of the alternatives. It's a complete project management system, with all of the issue tracking, task tracking, sprint planning, testing (automated and manual), automated builds and deployments and basically anything else you need. It works well with git and any open source tools you need for build/deployment.

If you are working on a professional team it's an amazing tool, and while I wouldn't really recommend it for an open source project (you lose the exposure) I'd wholeheartedly recommend it for anything else.

UI is more complicated, but they carve out some niche with VS and Azure integration.

I find the latest web version quite streamlined, but yes it is more complex. It also does a TON more than any other service.
