I think the negativity becomes easier to understand if you put it this way.
GitHub earned trust from enterprise and open source community alike. Stable, robust, secure and reliable. Competitors try hard but they're not even close. Everyone's happy.
One day, they announce, they are bought up by a rich, notoriously closed source software behemoth that was once sued for its monopolistic tactics. It claims its now a changed company wanting to empower developers to build the future and the only way they can do that is by buying GitHub and promises to do their best work to empower every developer to build, innovate and solve the world’s most pressing challenges.
4 months down, they declare they've built a close integration with a proprietary, overpriced issue tracking tool that is described as slow, terrible, unproductive, confusing and an utter nightmare by its users.
