Understandable concern, but this kind of fervor over this kind of problem feels a lot like the zealots who tear apart Firefox and it seems to be why open source community leadership suffers constantly. Is this good? Definitely not. But "stop using gitlab" and fleeing like rats into Microsoft's honey pot is like shooting off your face to spite your body.

I know, very clearly, that many HNetizens won't be using Github either. But piling on the hate train for these companies that at least try to support open source in earnest is doing strange things.

Would caution against ascribing any kind of noble intent to for-profit entities
