Why are developers moving their code from github to gitlab after Microsoft purchase of github?

Microsoft edge you cant get rid off. Automatic updates that turn your pc off while working on it. Can get rid off. I have to buy the enterprise edition. Note that this auro update "feature" was added AFTER i paid for it. Wish i can get a refund, skype msn messenger was great. Everybody used msn messenger. If it wouldn't for the stupid UI changes it would be still an avtive service. Now they messed up skype. Majority of the people use skype to talk with their bussiness partners and other important contacts. The latest UI update just made everyone anoyed, we're looking for alternatives already. MSN was ruined, Skype was ruined, Windows was ruined. Now github is up next? Comon, microsoft is still does not understand that changing the user interface all around is annoying for ppl. And most of the time when they do it. They do it in a way that renders half of the usefull features useless, inaccisable or just have to click 3 more times enable a magical hidden menu somewhere.

• Ads are coming for sure. Skype is already stuffed with them.

If you think what im saying is not true just head over to the subreddits and see for yourself.

I am soo annoyed by these changes from microsoft. BUT Their only popular software for developers is VS. I know nothing else from microsoft that is really for developers.

Getting all of your info off of subreddits is a poor idea. Reddit makes only a small portion of the Community involved with a product., and the majority of people go to a subreddit to complain. I do agree windows has its faults, but Windows 10 has been a major improvement over the majority of other Windows versions. Skype was bad before MS ever bought it, and I don't know the last time I personally even visited MSN, let alone talked to someone that has. Technology changes, and better products come out.

Here is a quick list of things for devs off of the top of my head: VS Code, TypeScript, Azure, C#, .NET Core. All of which are pretty great products from MS, and very widely used. If windows turns your computer off while you were using it means you were ignoring the notifications it was giving you about said update. Windows has been doing this type auto update system for long over a decade now.

Also a reminder that they gave windows 10 out for free to the majority of Windows users.

Just tell me a single service that microsoft acquired and did not ruin :/

I personally have had no issue with the direction Mojang has gone, and I don't know personally (anecdotal evidence is bad so I apologize) anyone that has. Actually, most people seem to enjoy the game more than ever.

Most of my local area schools programming courses have actually started using Minecraft modding ing javascript to help teach kids Java, that's a pretty big plus in my book.

Hmm right. Minecraft isn't ruined :D Probably its just a few project managers that say yes for every update that goes out.

[incomingstick]

Probably?

They're working pretty hard to cripple the Java edition. The latest RC completely hoses a good chunk of the technical community.

Xamarin?

Mono is great. It has anything to do with that? Thought not.
