What would it take for you to move away from Github? (self.programming)

Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

I'm definitely not interested in convincing you to change your mind but I do want to reply to some specific items.

the number of users in groups

The only limitation I can find is that top-level groups on the free plan are limited to 5 users. Granted, there are certainly reasons to keep a group private, but public groups are not limited.

moving some basic free features into premium like protected branches, code owners, issue dependencies, epics, roadmaps

Protected branches are available for all plans. I'm pretty certain the rest of the features you mentioned were never free. You can disagree with that choice, but it is incorrect to say they were moved into premium.

I dunno, it's been a while since I looked at the stuff in depth. They are definitely not fresh in my memory. What really stuck with me were my negative feelings towards Gitlab. Maybe someday they'll pop up in my life again and surprise me 🤷
