Tbh, I was speaking from a position of ignorance. The last time I used sourceforge properly must have been circa 2006/7 and it was an abomination then - clearly that is not the case now.

It definitely felt cleaner from a UI perspective today (albeit not github-clean) and the sluggish document load times that I remember were also not in evidence.

The open-source ecosystem is definitely richer for every hosting solution that exists, sf included, so if my comment seemed sneery I apologise. It just surprised me at the time is all.
