Thankfully I create all my projects on the CLI first, so my immediate workflow isn't currently going to be upended by yet another SaaS putting a gun to my head and telling me its making a change and I better play along if I don't want to lose everything!
A little overly-dramatic for this particular instance, but this and the following results should be a very good signifier at just __how much__ power GitHub (i.e. Microsoft) has over the entire OSS/Non-OSS/Developer community (how many package/plugin-managers and other pieces of software pull from GitHub first/by default?), and how wantonly they will wield it. This change is going to most likely break a non-zero amount of workflows (and could you blame people for expecting what has been the standard convention since the dawn of time (exaggeration) to stay the same?), and for what? Something with no technical reason whatsoever!
