Sometimes when a high-profile startup is acquired for a premium, its competitors are also acquired. With the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft, who will rush to acquire GitLab?

Honest question: what's wrong with Atlassian? They're the only bootstrapped company in the space, but for some reason HN dislikes them.
