I'm not. I'm thinking about Gitlab. There is a long history of Gitlab shamelessly copying things from GitHub, and GitHub taking the high road. I would be so much more likely to support them if they didn't act like complete tools any time GitHub releases a new feature, especially considering their history.

GitHub is massively larger than Gitlab. It's not even close. You're focussing on one relatively unimportant thing, and missing the bigger picture. I would wager a year from now, GitHub's lead in the market will have increased, not decreased.
- techntoke 7y agoWhat would you like to wager? I'll wager GitLab will be even further integrated into Kubernetes and the go to for open source CI/CD.
- PierceJoy 7y agoWhy are you so hyper focused on products being open source? With a very very small number of exceptions, this has never mattered, and likely will never matter. I wager GitHub will be a significantly larger company, with more users both free and paid, hosting a significantly larger portion of notable open source projects.
- techntoke 7y agoBecause I care about innovation for distribution of social benefits and environmental improvement, as opposed to profit.
- PierceJoy 7y agoAnd I can understand why you like Gitlab the open source project. However, we're talking about Gitlab the for profit company. My criticisms apply only to the company, not the project.
