Well, for me (as an upstream), from day 1, GitHub was simply pleasant to work with and it has been developing so rapidly that it stayed ahead of free (open or not) alternatives in terms of provided features and convenience of use. From my point of view, a year or so ago it was simply impractical to advise anyone to use any alternative since there were no really competitive one AFAIK. May be situation is different now... BUT majority of the projects I am working with are already on github ... yes -- they pretty much got locked into this evil (?) closed platform BUT the quality of their development improved due to increased efficiency and how could I get disappointed because of that? ;) Should I go and advocate them to switch?.. not sure... Should I advise on use/development of tools which would improve interoperability and possibly ease migration to alternative FOSS platforms -- of cause ;) BTW, while we are it, may be someone Ruby-savy would get interested in gitlab (RFP - #651606)? ;) -- Yaroslav O.
