Like I always say to my customers when they come to me and ask me for
this or that tool: what is the problem you are trying to solve?
“Project management” is not an acceptable answer. ☺ I’m never opposed
to any tool (software license and privacy are not an issue here since
it’s Free and we would host our instance) but one should use a tool
because it is the right one for their task at hand, not because it
looks cool.

Same logic applies to kanban boards (someone recently said we should
use gitlab because it has kanban boards).

Sure, testing is always good.
