Wow. I feel you've certainly made a point.
Originally you declared:
> If you want nice things, you have to pay for them.
And I don't know how that fits in with people releasing / maintaining free software.
I responded to your first rant because you appeared to be 'going all fanboy' over github, declaring them a successful, superior business. I asked you if a company that hadn't turned a profit despite first mover advantage and a decade of trying could be termed a business ... and you weaselled out of that question.
- irq11 8y agoI answered you, you just ignored the answer: yes. If you believe Github isn’t a business, then you’re going to be sorely disappointed by Gitlab, whose business model is worse. I’m done talking to you now.

The challenge discussing this with you is all your comments about Github are based around comparing them (favourably) to Gitlab. > I'm done talking to you now. This is a shame, as I'm consumed with curiosity on your take of today's news that Microsoft spent US$7b buying github. From what you've described it sounds like they should have just cloned libgit2, rugged, and github-linguist, and rattled up their own gitlab over the weekend.
