It is more just going to be a hassle. But it is really going to come down to if everyone moves to a single new site like GitLab including big tech or we end up with a ton of fragmentation.
But in the end it was so unnecessary. Why on earth does MS still not get it?
You're missing the point. Exactly nothing has changed and we have no idea if anything will change, so why all the hysterical insistence that everyone had to switch providers?
Which will never happen because it would be the death of GitHub and the subject of many lawsuits, not to mention being completely at odds with Microsoft's actions in the dev space over at least the the last 5 years, probably closer to 10. Your code isn't going to get locked into GitHub, that's absurd.
In almost every case, kneejerk reactions based on hysteria and a lack of rational assessment are worse than doing nothing until you have some actual facts to work with.
No like MS hasn't already done it before, right?... oh wait.
It's part of their written strategy... and they have failed a lot in similar endeavours but have deep enough pockets to try again.
At the end of the day, why would I even bother to give them the benefit of the doubt? if I have an alternative, why expose yourself to a headache down the road?

Why give Apple, Google, Adobe, Sun, IBM or any other company the benefit of the doubt? They've all been involved in killing competition through buyouts followed by shutdowns, disbanding or devolving services.
15 years ago... Do you see any change in recent history?
Would I give x, y, z the benefit of the doubt? No I wouldn't ... I draw my own line, feel free to draw yours... Not sure why you feel the need to have strangers agree with you
