Stars on Github mean nothing to me. Github has been the best example of a brilliant UI, presenting a large database of code for easy browsing and consumption, without requiring javascript. That was/is its killer feature. This is what locks me in. Github has deteriorated since the takeover, to be sure. I would estimate its noscript usability to have regressed from 95% to maybe 80% today. The Ruby-on-Rails backend services have faltered a bit. Markdown files in the repo tree are no longer auto-converted by the server into html, but the main readme still works. Have you ever visited a Gitlab project with javascript turned off? Worthless!
