In my opinion, yes, Gerrit is awful.

Perhaps my experience is made worse by the fact that our Gerrit servers (perhaps about 5000 users) are so painfully slow that it can take a minute to display a page. Multiply that by the number of files touched in a patch to get a whole review done.

Then add all this non-vanilla Git extensions like "Change-Id" lines in commit messages and Gerrit/Repo's awkward idea of branches spanning multiple repositories.

All this makes it difficult to deal with multiple patches that make a "feature", ie. a feature branch. Something that should be trivial in Git is made really difficult by Gerrit.
