I've seen some comments about how "gitlab bad" or whatnot, why do people prefer Codeberg over GitLab?

Probably Forgejo/Gitea also uses such dependencies, but their Go counterparts which are statically built into the server binary.

If resource efficiency only depended on that, Gitlab would be more efficient with memory because of this. We all know that's not the case, I just said it as a comparison.

This also means that while Forgejo/Gitea depends less on your system installation, it also wont benefit from updated dependency packages.

If they maintain the binary properly, could cause less issues with dependencies compatibility, so it's less pain for the DevOps team, like a container image, just pull the new image and done.
