Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I’m assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

    Because there hasn’t been enough discomfort to disrupt established workflows yet.

    I remember when Sourceforge hit that tipping point. Microsoft and Gitlab likely do too.

      And the fact all alternatives must have federated signon and repos. Otherwise it’s just annoyance and fragmentation where GitHub provides a smooth, unified experience.
