If something works, don't change it. And GitHub, not being ideal, works pretty well.

    I agree, and I can forgive OSS projects still using it, but if they're inviting a discussion about it I'd hope they'd be more sensitive that:

    1. github is not static
    2. being on a Microsoft platform carries a significant risk (embrace, extend, extinguish).
    3. There are plenty of successful OSS hosted elsewhere and each one helps the whole system grow.

    windows 10 works pretty well too. all things amazon work pretty well too. google's services very rarely have bugs, even less security breaches. they are all so convenient! why are people switching to alternatives, that are sometimes worse, sometimes better?
