Is there any big reason to use Stack Overflow For Teams now that version control providers (github, gitlab) have discussions?
- afavour 6y agoFamiliarity? I've never used GitHub discussions, I use SO all the time.
- mgbmtl 6y agoCould you elaborate about the Gitlab discussion features? I know they can be threaded, but a nice advantage of SO is being able to upvote solutions (which may be edited for clarity), so we don't have to read through pages of comments. I am missing anything?
- drcongo 6y agoNot sure about Gitlab discussions, but you can upvote answers on GitHub discussions. I'm sure GitHub discussions going free for private repos was a big driver for this move by StackOverflow - for us though, the fact that GitHub discussions can sit alongside the repo they're actually about, with automatic linking to commits and tickets makes them infinitely more useful than SO for Teams.
