Best Use Case (imho)

Total Freedom (+ You are not afraid of using Groovy)

When your code is already in Gitlab

When you just want out-of-the-box working CI/CD

No idea

You don't want to maintain a CI/CD server and your CI/CD is mainly containers based

You want versatile CI/CD but don't care about open source
