Using Gitlab at our company and I love it. I could never agree with the "small teams don't need/want time tracking" argument, so I'm very happy to see they released it for CE.
I am a bit unsure what Gitlab consider a small team. But I find myself getting a little exasperated when they choose to keep features from CE because "small teams don't need it". Last week I found this was the reason they did not include global contributer statistics in CE. This would be a trivial change, and an important one for my team of ~14 engineers with in-house tools and a microservice architecture who would like to see the pulse of development.
There are no features that are never needed by a small team. To make our business model work we do need to make some features exclusive to EE. The definition we use is: is this feature more relevant for organizations that have more than 100 potential users? We thought this was the case for timetracking but we were wrong and reversed the decision.
