Not that significant; I think the familiarity with what we have is the
greatest plus.

cgit is a bit better usable in the sense that you do not have to click
that much there as in gitweb, and also looks better (not overwhelming
you with possibilities you won't use anyway, the color bars to see how
much has changed in the file, less distracting colors in diffs)

The configuration is trivial, you just edit /etc/cgitrc to point to the
repos, and you are done; but of course I have no idea how well does it
play with gerrit.

Thank you,
