#2I guess in terms of game development, Stadia will be like GitHub.
As a service though, we'll see. Their reveal stream kept crashing, and there was noticeable lag during their initial GDC presentation.

#3$10/mo was pretty much the only way they could price the service; however I didn't expect 4k to be the base resolution for the paid service. (thought it would be $10/1080p, $15/4k; having 1080p for free is interesting).
Google needs to be more transparent about device support though. The stream highlighted Chromecast Ultra/Android, but not much else (e.g. if there is an iOS client, or compatibility with a base $35 1080p Chromecast/Chromecast protocol for smart TVs) [EDIT: the FAQ is more clear: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9338946]

#4Does MS have a patent on offset joysticks or does noone care that you can't strafe right and look left without smashing your thumbs together? Switch the dpad and left joystick.

The current Stadia controller layout matches the PS4's controller.

From their site, as far as phones go only Pixel devices will be supported at launch. Support for other devices would be coming "later".

It matches all typical controllers so I can see why they did it, but the normal design is flawed. The joystick has to be offset to fit all hand sizes and thumb movements properly.

It's free after you pay for the games though. There needs to be some kind of free plan when you're making people buy (licenses to stream) games.

Could you explain what you mean by "like GitHub"?

Which is not a good thing IMO. The Xbox One controller has been much more comfortable for longer sessions for me.
