Since Microsoft owns Github, Gitlab is Corp owned now since 2022, why are so many who preach privacy or using Linux, etc, still using a MS product?

Genuine questions. I'm assumming either familiarity & simplicity with GH or difficulty migrating elsewhere?

You’re not wrong.

But … it’s also been convenient and largely free for most use cases and has had a better feature set then most alternates without having to host your own.

If you could host your own Gitlab was the choice.

The reliability issues of late is what is making most people actually contemplate moving.

I've moved to Codeberg. It works well enough for me.

Gitlab is trying hard to ruin the software so beware of that.
