It might not be about Microsoft specifically. It might just be about github no longer being independent. Or it might more to do with the $7.5 billion sale price, and a wish not to join in a game of "you have to be on github because everyone will look for you on github because everyone else is on github". (So much the same reason as some people leave Facebook: a wish not to be someone else's product.)
