My worry with Phabricator is that it seems to be a monolithic piece of
software that tries to do everything. I haven't played with it yet, so I
don't know how dependent its parts are on one another.
I did play with GitLab a bit and I had a positive first impression. The
learning curve also shouldn't be too steep with this one since it's
modeled after GitHub/BitBucket which probably almost everyone knows already.
Do we know how this will be decided? Voting of some sort?

Everyone, there is some lively discussion happening
right now around
trying to unify the various tools in our workflow - at the team levels
as well as at the org/project level.
The idea is to try and find a way to minimize and/or eliminate the
fact that we use 23872394 different tools to manage bugs, plan our
work, track our work, manage/review code changes/etc - and that those
tools are not even necessarily consistent across teams.
The growing consensus appears to be around using Phabricator as The
Tool to Rule them All - it would replace bugzilla, gerrit,
mingle/trello/your (least) favorite PM tool/etc.
Especially for those of you that are frustrated by
Mingle/BZ/Gerrit/etc - you should spend some time playing with some of
the tools being proposed and weigh in on the discussion. Relevant

My personal view at the moment is that Phabricator seems really cool
but lacks some of the power and flexibility we get with Mingle in
terms of organizing our work, viewing cards, planning, controlling
workflows, etc (in some respects, I would say it is much closer to how
Trello works), however these features are currently in Beta and may
evolve for greater flexibility.
