#5With a bit of work their Enterprise product could be huge... it's a real shame they've not invested in it properly.

#6I think one of the underappreciated point of github is its excellent business model. The freemium model of providing everything for free if your code is public and charging only for private repositories allowed them to grow exponentially with rising popularity among open source projects.
Sourceforge and Google code tried to cater only for open source projects, while never thinking that code hosting is the problem that needs to be solved.

#7Github hasn't centralized all open source code Because git itself is decentralized. If only other social networks let you extract your data so easily.

#8I'm a little paranoid about my code.
I want to like github's private repos, but I don't want my code to be stolen by github's internal employees.
I've heard that their employees do shady things on occasion (2nd hand knowledge).

We've done an enormous amount of work on GitHub Enterprise over the past year. Click on any of the release headings for the 2.x series at https://enterprise.github.com/releases and you'll see the pace at which we've been shipping features enterprises have been asking for. If it's been a little while since you checked it out I'd recommend looking at it again :)

Employees of any company in the world can do shady things.
You need to trust your server hosting company, your server OS vendor, your own workstation's software, your OS, all your firmware...
If GitHub employees stole proprietary code from you, and commercialized it, proving "prior art" and theft should be extremely easy for you. IANAL, but it's not something I'd worry about with most companies hosting on Github.
