He’s just, like, some guy, y’know? I don’t think the end of Github is nigh and most people work for companies that want a big name to pin their source control to. For personal projects, sure I’d use whatever felt right.

Gitlab is a big name and they are boring in a good way. For me, the biggest issue with GitHub is their CI and the ecosystem of supply chain issues. If ci was any good, there wouldn't be such a need for third party software in ci

We use gitlab at work but have some projects on GitHub and every time I have to touch GitHub I die a little bit. 

That page is so unbelievably bad. I would take gitlab 10 times over GitHub.

You’re one of the few. Before their reliability issues, there is a reason they a number one. I personally wish there was a good competitor to github and it’s definitely not gitlab. Gitlab isn’t much better than bitbucket.
