Sadly, I don't think there is any risk for them for "losing developers en-masse to competitors".
Everyone who seriously considers to leave the platform has already left when they were acquired by MS and/or continued to work with ICE, and both of those only caused a miniscule amount of people to leave.

- RonanTheGrey 6y agoI have a rather large project that is in a stage where asking "where do we host it?" is appropriate. I was >< this close to choosing Gitlab over Github due to this - I stopped all efforts to make the decision until I saw how this plays out. Happy to push to Github now. It's a data point of one, but there you go..
- hobofan 6y agoThis is in no way meant to offend you: You thought about it, but you didn't, just like most people do. It's easy to say you would do something, but actually going ahead and doing it and going against the mainstream is a whole other thing entirely. If that's the data point you want to offer, than it seems like it was just supporting my point. (And who am I to judge, I've resigned to using Github as well...)
