* Onboarding people is a matter of granting them access to gitlab repos, as soon as they have that, they can start coding. No need to deal with Windows laptops where you need admin for everything :D

* One unexpected benefit was that the environments are not only reproducible, they're also isolated: you can work on 2 branches at the same time by spinning up 2 gitpod workspaces.

* Prebuilds ease the pain of waiting for workspace boot.

* We could shut down our previous notebook solution thanks to gitpod using a vscode notebook plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web IDE is close, but not quite the same as regular desktop experience, for example copy pasting shortcuts don't seem to work and of course there's some workspace boot time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
