Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Office. Microsoft Word. Microsoft Teams. Microsoft SwiftKey. Microsoft Bing. Microsoft SQL Server. …So yes, Microsoft GitHub unless we want to fail to recognize their neo-EEE strategy of purchasing/creating of as well npm, Azure, LinkedIn, VSCode, Language Server Protocol, TypeScript, etc. & trying to create “the ecosystem”.

But also, zero respect for MS GitHub. Code forges now turned into a social media & marketing platforms, you have starhacking, anxiety for how green your chart is, pressure to build a portfolio on a proprietary + non-self-hosted platform. They have always required you create an account to submit patches. They also invented the horrible pull request model that doesn’t scale + blocks/slows teams down significantly; it also turns maintainers into commenters instead of merging patches & changing to fit their nits later instead putting all of the onus on contributors that usually just want a fix in—not to understand the maintainers whole process or even chosen programming language. It is bad. Gaining the seemingly-unshakable popularity the platfrom has, even the alternatives continue to copy MS GitHub’s bad ideas & propagate these ideas for ‘compatibility’ offering very little beyond X but FOSS (folks wonder why not a lot of others are moving to Forgejo, well, it doesn’t offer anything new or solves actual UX & workflow problems to be better (rather literally moved from Gitea’s CI to copying all the grossness of Microsoft GitHub’s Actions)). The only thing it did that was good was making free software cool while ironically on a totally proprietary platform.
