I feel people have become reliant on GitHub though. They use the web interface to do daily tasks. They like the one click fork to move a repo to their own account.
The problem is, on a daily basis when you're looking for an open-source project, where do you find it? It's always on GitHub. It has established itself as the market leader.
It happens all the time. Other companies may provide better support for certain things(private repos in this instance) - but people flock to where the rest of the market is. It's like PayPal, we all know they're better alternatives and yet we all still use PayPal.
Second time in a week. Still github is one of those companies that really have to mess up to make me hate them. It's probably a DDOS attack again, I don't understand what kind of people could do that to our octocat.
