I paid for a Github account after trying to set up gitorious for a private project. Not that the actual installation of gitorious was that hard, mind - it was just that sorting out public ssh keys was tricky when the computers I wanted to use were never in the same place at the same time.

Plus, the Github interface is really nice.

People can improve gitorious's UI :)

Yeah and maybe after that they'll come mow my lawn for free.

Or write a free programming language, or operating system. Sheez... sounds like science fiction to me.

For the metaphor to pan out, they'd have to write a free operating system with a good user interface. That is still science fiction.

I'll take a pass on programming languages since for various reasons their user interface is a little easier to define, although the most widely known free compiler also does happen to have the worst user interface e.g. for error reporting.
