I think the Web IDE is a great selling point for GitLab, but not to
*oversell*, while Gitlab has good support for previewing asciidoc when browsing
repositories, you don't get either syntax highlighting or "live preview" for
asciidoc in the IDE.
True, preview is important, and it seems that you only get that in the
web IDE for Markdown (at least, I don't see it for reST or Asciidoc).
The automatic MR creation is awesome and I can even imagine people
using it in combination with local tools for editing and preview, but
if we could have Gitlab support a complete workflow that would be
infinitely superior.
