That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying it would be silly for me to buy a broken project car because I know nothing about them and perfectly working cars are available. The people you're taking about have probably never heard of GitLab. They're surely quite happy with GitHub. It would be like me going on CraigsList and emailing my neighbor selling his in- pieces old sports car and asking what the hell I'm supposed to do with a car in pieces. I feel like I keep having this same conversation and it's always about git. People wanting things to be easier does not magically make them so.
