Seems there’s lot of mess in the company all because of Microsoft or name it greed or late stage capitalism but still something tells me GitHub is just too important to lose dominance in next few years, after that if any other company takes over it’ll probably be gitlab but it’s really hard to speculate on this kind of things, I hope Microsoft leaves GitHub alone, they probably will fix themselves, lot’s of developers depend on Github and migration is not easy thing for big repos I expect.
When I first became familiar with the existence of free and open source software, GitHub did not exist yet. The most popular similar website was SourceForge. (Do many people much younger than me even know that exists?)
If things could change once, they can change again.
I see no way of that happening. GitHub is a huge resource for Microsoft; in terms of market penetration, people platform, but especially now with GitHub Copilot and their push for AI. They can’t let go of GitHub.
You think it sucks because you’re used to GitHub’s interface. I really dislike the github interface after having left it a few years ago. Gitlab’s interface is, to me, so much better and a breath of fresh air (even though it might look like the old old Github).
As for forgejo, I agree, once they get functional federation and a good CI (not a shitty Github actions clone), github and Gitlab can really fuck off. Gitlab might become a “competitor” once they have federation, but they only will do that if forgejo takes off sue to federation.
Agree- I think the gitlab interface, though they tweak it all the time, makes sense. I continually have to hunt for things on github and it’s very annoying to me.

I used to get everything from SourceForge! I was a young kid and had no idea what I was doing tho lol :D

It’ll not be gitlab, gitlab is fine but the UI sucks and no improvements in sight.
Forgejo/Codeberg is the one that will take over in the coming decade.
Forgejo feels so clean compared to github.

for open source it will be vodeberg. gotlab will do well with enterprises.
