There is one thing about github I find annoying, which is inseparable from what makes it great. On SF, it was normal and the cultural norm to find compiled software along with the the source. I just spent my morning going back and forth with a dev on github because his project will not compile on my machine. I had found a cludgey hack to get working, but it broke any chance of future commits, and I figured he would rather have things working right. We both just gave up in the end, it wasn't worth the time for the estimated amount of effort I was going to put into the project. Given the widely different environments people work in, it would be nice to see a bit more compiled code, and the concomitant dev effort before release to make sure it is actually possible for other people to use. On SF I downloaded so many little utilities similar to GNU tools that just worked and got me running in under a minute on Windows, and that is much harder to find today (except on SF--and I hope they come back to rock on!).
