#2even if the peanut gallery is still out on whether this is a 'smart move' from microsoft or not, the point in the article is real. Sourceforge and Gitlab are both having serious issues keeping pace with the number of users moving their projects.
gitlabs grafana instances are all but completely unresponsive as of this post. Timeouts and such from the web UI were rampant as of 0700am PST but they seem to be under control.
If i were a gambling man, I'd venture this to be the worst decision Microsoft has made since they hoovered up Minecraft for six billion dollars only to be left to watch PUBG and fortnight run miles past it, and multiple open source server implementations show up.

#3I don't understand why the people have this huge team mentality. If this team does that, it wrong, if another does it it is ok. Google cancelled Google Code with no backlash, or at least not to this level. Microsoft is trying to save a vital company in the open source community that didn't even have a CEO or any path to profitability and people react like they are going to ban all projects that are not C#. Not only in tech, but elsewhere I see a trend of just following a herd mentality instead of judging every action by it's own weight or at least let it play out. Of course, if you are afraid have a plan B or backup what ever you see fit but we need more critical thinking in our daily lives.

#4I don't think a single person is considering moving from GitHub to Sourceforge.

#5Arguments about migration itself aside, using SourceForge as a destination would last have occurred to me about 15 years ago. Very puzzling title.

Or you know - use BitBucket that allows unlimited number of private repos for free afaik.

Google did face backlash and it wasn't to this level because its use wasn't nearly as ubiquitous

I love competition and choice, I'm not even a fan of Github but I see their importance in the game. I'm criticizing herd mentality and something bigger than where you host a repo. I'm asking for critical thinking and that is it.

This is an altruistic move on Microsoft's part? Puhleaze. And Google routinely gets beaten up for killing projects, it's just that nobody used Google Code.

#10Almost nothing in this article is accurate. We’ve been doing everything we can to improve SourceForge and we did not hide anything. The writer has an axe to grind for some reason, and maybe his anger is warranted, but it's definitely directed at the wrong people. https://sourceforge.net/blog/introducing-the-new-sourceforge...
