Github doesn't compromise the distributed nature of git. It makes it easier to use it as a traditional client-server SCM, but you can treat Github as just another remote (and I often do!) For people coming from client-server SCMs, I think Github is a really important transition step, and frankly, as an open source developer and consumer, it's really nice that there's a popular publish/find-stuff hub.
