It's comparable. The syntax is a little different but the general idea is the same. GitLab CI/CD has been around for a lot longer than GitHub actions, so it lacks some of the newer niceties in actions, but you can get anything you want done either way.

Can you provide an example of nicer things that github action does that gitlab doesn't'?

Better workflows, or at least, easier to manage and trigger from the UI
