Dear GitHub
I do like Github, and I understand how it makes the entire process of maintaining a code repo a lot easier, but what I&#x27;d genuinely like to know is why don&#x27;t big projects just move to their own thing? I understand that there isn&#x27;t a single solution that exactly matches what Github has, and that maintaining your own git server + git management&#x2F;issues&#x2F;etc.. app is a pain, but I see it as the only real solution. Developing in the open can&#x27;t be done on platforms where restrictions apply, and they do apply. I&#x27;m saying this with no intention of sounding like a jerk, but 18 project maintainers and&#x2F;or developer need to write an open letter to get Github to give&#x27;em a &quot;me too&quot; button? I understand the issue, but i still find it rather silly.<p>The only aspect I could think of where Github has the pro is the community of developers it has, but does it really matter that much? Especially for established&#x2F;big projects that probably don&#x27;t care about the fork&#x2F;stars numbers, or the random look around-ers that pass by.
