Call me a Luddite, when a tool I use every day is completely redesigned, and marketed with phrases like "The content is the interface", I begin to shit my pants

  GitHub issues is another kettle of fish, but does anything force you to use the github interface to use the repositories? Forking, or making buckets? You can host a copy of your repo on github, another on, say, bitbucket, and another on gitorious, and as long as you take care of syncing between them, you should be alright, right?

    Fair point. I actually use Issues a lot, I find it great for small projects where I don't have the time or energy to set up bugzilla or trac etc. I like the way you can browse branches and commits, see your repos, start a new project with a README and so on. I can imagine using the wiki more than I have. I just get this queasy feeling that this might be one of those over-thought reworkings, where they do everything they thought they would do years ago before the site took off. Sometimes that works, but usually it's a disaster. Incremental changes, with lots of feedback from real users, seems to be the better way for a site with a solid core of happy users to evolve.
