What a lame post. Considering Microsoft's history, I would have expected something less generic, more opinionated, and stronger in statement about its own future.

I did like Gitlab and its features, but THIS post makes me reconsider and makes me want to switch to alternatives with an actual community that cares, like Gitea.

It is lame because it serves nothing other than opportunistic advertising.

Yikes. How untasteful. Nothing official yet but they're hurrying up writing some completely bullshit post to let people know that Github is being acquired by "M$" and hopefully migrate to them. The last paragraph says it all, "look at how we're different".

Frankly, why not just be honest and make this point directly. No need for the "we congratulate Github - Git is so important" oohs and aahs. We're not morons.
