"A couple of years ago Microsoft was anti-open-source." Then quotes stuff from 18 years ago.... ok
Some people still don't trust MS, even after the recent changes. Can't blame them

#22Why are people jumping ship to lower quality services ? And I'm talking about unrecognizable brand names, because at least migrating to Gitlab or Bitbucket may be understandable in a way, but still an exageration in my opinion.
I was alive when Microsoft was evil and I don't want my stuff to stay in a Microsoft service. I moved my pulic repositories to GitLab today. It's slower and it doesn't looks as nice but it's ok.
I self host my private repositories, no need of a third party service for that.
By the way, Bitbucket looks a little better than GitLab but its usability is abysmal. I always have troubles finding the things I want in there.

Burn them, then update all your projects on GitHub to have nothing but a readme with a link to the video :p

#26Honest question: Besides more traction among the open source community, where do you feel GitHub is stronger than GitLab? I’m not affiliated with GitLab, however a little biased because we’re using GitLab instead of GitHub at our company. Feature-wise, It seems to me that GitLab is running circles around GitHub. Curious about other opinions.
The only reason some of my clients (of my own company) and some of the clients of my employer (so.. someone else's company) choose GitHub over GitLab is track record. GitLab isn't old enough with a long/stable enough track record to be considered on par. Feature- and functionality-wise, GitLab always wins.
A small, but second reason some of my clients and workgroups choose GitHub is pure because of the brand name, but I suppose that could be thrown in together with track record or age.

#27Also Kallithea.
I guess it's a wiki so I could add it myself, but apparently you need a github account to edit this wiki?

I was going to point out that GitHub pages are so great for hosting static content that that alone keeps me in GitHub. But looks like GitLab already implements their equivalent. Too bad it looks like they don't handle enabling TLS/SSL for custom domains as conveniently as GitHub does (e.g. one click to enable and they will then get the cert through LetsEncrypt or something without me having to bother with getting it…
For what it's worth, I started using Netlify (https://www.netlify.com/) for my static sites a while ago, and it's been great. Automatic LE support is definitely one of my favorite features.
