#2Whatever happens, I hope they improve their Android app. It is one of the most pathetic things I've ever had the mispleasure of using.
Is it really that difficult to get push notifications for pull requests, issues, and my homepage news feed?
I don't know what it's built with but it's not native in the least, it looks like some awful PhoneGap monstrosity.

The gitskarios app is a good alternative.

#4> With plenty of competitors, including Atlassian, GitLab, and even Google, one thing is certain: If GitHub does stumble, there are plenty of companies that want to pick up its slack.
Atlassian? Oh god. Their software might be ideal for corporate beancounters and expensive consultants, but for everyone else it's a nightmare.
GitLab? A pile of memory leaks and other weirdness.
Google? Not so much, I highly doubt they'll ever re-open Google Code.
edit: and another thing, Github enjoys a massive, massive network effect, next to impossible to recreate by anyone else. Except Sourceforge, but they burned so many bridges that no one sane in his mind will ever trust them again.

Atlassian bitbucket is fine for me, and it gives free private repos. If you just want something for side projects without all of the bells and whistles, bitbucket is fine

I love both BitBucket and GitLab, have no issues with either.

#8Assembla offers free private repos (no bells, no whistles). I've been using them for over 4 years now.

Why?
I mean, I'm always happy to see competition keeping companies on their toes, but why do you actively want people to leave GitHub?

#10uhm... So a company that is an enabler of developers working from anywhere and collaborating on code doesn't have at its core value working remotely? I find that a bit hard to believe, but I guess I've heard stranger things.
I guess I just expect as a matter of dogfooding that a company that strives to do great distributed source code control and all the activities surroundings that would live the remove lifestyle.
