admittedly I haven't used gitlab to the extent I have with bitbucket/gitlab - but so far I haven't found anything missing personally - in fact there a lot of things in gitlab that I wish were in the others. A lot of the github enhancements lately have been things that gitlab had first.
The only real downside at the moment is for public open source github is still the place everyone is expecting you to be. Its hard enough for small projects to be noticed on github, putting them somewhere else means nobody will ever see them just browsing. But for private or private-for-now projects gitlab seems to be the best fit for me currently.
