I don't know the current status of SourceForce, but the problem wasn't one of usability of the website.
The problem is that it had a change of owners, and the new owners started bundling non-free spyware and malware into the installers of otherwise free software. Which is way more serious than simply having a website that is hard to navigate.
SourceForge got a well deserved backlash from the community following their underhanded tactics. Not sure what the situation is now.
- tssva 5y agoSourceForge stopped including spyware and malware installers near the beginning of 2016 when new owners took over.
- fao_ 5y agoAt no point did I say it didn't have malware, in fact, I explicitly acknowledged it.
- the_af 5y agoYes, but you stressed the (bad) usability of their website, which, while not good, is/was not their biggest sin and pales in comparison.
