As far as I understand the reason for the fork was that Gogs has a single maintainer who want to keep control over the project (he created it, so he has that right).
Gitea on the other hand was to be more of a community project with multiple maintainers and ways for active contributors to become one.
Though Gogs has more stars, and currently, I think, more related project/integrations, looking at GH stats, Gitea has more activity, PR's, commits, etc.
That made me choose Gitea over Gogs. Really content with it.. was planning on using Gitlab at first, but it would require AWS instances with double the oomph.
The documentation could be better, agree, but a search in issues or filing a Help wanted issue comes a long way.
