I can't tell if you're joking, but if not I use it because it's a reliable, free git server.

Not sure why you’d think that. Maybe this is common in your circle but I don’t know anyone who uses github just to host a remote repo.

You literally have to pay to have a private repo. It isn't just a common use, it is feature you have to pay for.

I've mixed feelings.

On one side, I like seeing something different to the crap that is Jira. Every single large company out there seems to use it and it's terrible.

OTOH, not sure if I'm happy that the only new competition is a Microsoft product.

It floors me that they haven't addressed the underlying architecture issues that made Issues unusable: Issues are only for a single repo. Business users don't (and shouldn't) know what repo to add an Issue to. This is why we moved away from Issues and none of these new visualizations make the product usable until they deliver multi-repo issues.

This is the biggest complaint I've heard from company, and the reason why most reject using GitLab or GitHub for issues.

It works great for FLOSS, but not so good when the people opening issues don't access repositories.
