I wouldn't wanna be with such service provider. Very trashy behavior,I have switched to bitbucket and have been happy. This post just confirms my choice of not going for gitlab ever.

Re: Congratulations GitHub on the acquisition by Microsoft
#23Can someone (who isn't projecting their own opinions of Microsoft) explain in simple terms what makes this so "trashy"? So far the only legitimate complaints I've seen are: 1) The acquisition hasn't been announced yet (OK, what makes that "trashy"?) 2) This is opportunistic advertising (OK, what makes that "trashy"?)
The post acts like Microsoft will mess up GitHub and has specific plans for Github already, which they likely do, but Gitlab isn’t in the know. The post is just saying things.

Good ? Bad ? I don’t know neither judging. Just saying.

#25Pretty tasteless to publish an article like this without any concrete sources or even confirmations from the Microsoft/Github teams themselves.
"GitHub has earned mindshare within the developer community, and Microsoft’s acquisition is certainly an attempt to garner and cultivate that mindshare. However, the long term strategic implication seems to be that Microsoft wants to use GitHub as a means to drive Azure adoption."
Might be reading too much into this, but the above line in-particular drove me up the wall.

I would suggest the majority of the spike are just playing, will settle down to a small bump.

Why? As the worlds leading contributor to open source and 40 years experience building development tools it is probably the best acquirer. Would you rather Oracle?

Microsoft shut down their own too.
VSTS is still alive and well.
I'm talking about CodePlex.

Re: Congratulations GitHub on the acquisition by Microsoft
#30"We applaud GitHub on its accomplishments and congratulate Microsoft on its acquisition. While we admire what's been done, our strategy differs in two key areas. First, instead of integrating multiple tools together, we believe a single application, built from the ground up to support the entire DevOps lifecycle is a better experience leading to a faster cycle time."
^ That's how you end up with a shitty product. Just use right tool for the right job..
