I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt for minute and reply to your comment.
If 50,000 companies had no source code repository next week and had to switch to Bitbucket, it would be a very big deal. That wasn't what I was arguing. I was refuting your idea that companies are dependent on Github. That isn't the case. If you took any tool away from 50,000 companies overnight it would be a big deal. That doesn't make those tools important.
Take away all the desks and chairs from 50,000 companies and switch them to standing desks immediately before they can continue working and it would be a big deal. Are desks and chairs as important as your Github account? If you answer yes to this question, just stop reading at this point.
If not, then you should see how ridiculous your earlier argument was. Github has a ton of features, I don't know how many of them you use but I personally just download repos. That's about it. That's the central feature of Github. Bitbucket has that feature. If a project moved from Github to Bitbucket, it wouldn't make a difference to me at all. I imagine my situation is not unique. That was my argument. I hope I've made myself clear this time.
Not sure what your "Windows is a dinosaur" remark was about. Do you deny the existence of companies that are completely dependent on Windows?
P.S. Having a whole sentence that consists of LOL is just extremely weird and out of place here at HN.
