My reservations about Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub are not that they might ruin it or whatever, but that I've no interest in adding to the value of any Microsoft product by being their user.
For the same reason I use a Gnu/Linux operating system. Truthfully there are things that I imagine MS or apple might do better, but that's beside the point for me. It's a political stance.
- marcosdumay 8y agoIf you start a project somewhere, choose a competitor. FOSS development is way too much concentrated on GitHub already, it's unhealthy. But there is no problem in most people not thinking like you either. Overall, I think the acquisition was good, if no other reason, just because there are enough people that dislike MS for pushing some diversity on the FOSS hosting game.
