What did GitHub do?[serious]
They're just a monopoly and could easily pull a Unity, Twitter, Reddit, or whatever other big service exists.
It's the implication
Yep. I'm a very happy GitHub user, with my finger idling near the eject button since they're a prime candidate to pull a Unity.
Like what?
I'm not saying there isn't vendor lock-in, but I am saying it likely isn't the features of GitHub that are limiting that. Third party integrations will follow wherever the foot traffic goes.
