What is going on that people expect something better from Microsoft? Really this is quite on par with the quality they deliver. The only surprising thing is that people are surprised by this.

Out of curiosity, what could have Microsoft done to cause this?
I'm not aware of the acquisition details. But did they make GitHub switch to Azure or make significant changes to infrastructure?
I've seen several people blaming Microsoft for GitHub outages and am trying to understand why this is a common thing.

Well, let's not forget the Gitlab outage where they basically lost a shit-ton of production data. I mean if we're just comparing apples.

I prefer gitlab too but github is where most projects are, and that plays a overwhelming huge role on deciding where devs (and so other projects too) will be.. :/
It could change, but would require a pretty huge fuck-up or a lot of time and many not-so-smal mistakes from github.

But, UI of Gitlab is very bloated. I feel that UI of Github is less bloater than Gitlab.
Gitea is OK,but there is no one big instance(yes,I know about codeberg) . Sourcehut is made by one-man in his one-man shop,and it lacks many features that one needs.Also,it is Alpha software.

When microsoft took over the rate of new features increased dramatically.
Adding new features fast often entails tradeoffs in other areas - such as reliability. Which seems to be what happened in github.

Yes. Github used to be hosted on AWS. Now,they have migrated (at least partially) to Azure.
