I love git. I've used it for my personal projects, used it for work, used it for projects ive lead. Small teams, larger teams, single person. Occasional contributors, fulltime contributors, so on, all included.
I have never felt the urge to try anything else - so I'm as biased as I can be.
I think GitHub went down hill so much that I get a little angry every time I have to use it. It used to be snappy - links you click used to actually load. Now, somehow, they managed to make it a single page app that stays on one view even when it has already loaded another -- its very strange. I go to issues, click new issue, the URL changes, the loading bar finishes -- and nothing. Just still the issues view. A few seconds later it changes.
I cant push to git@github.com:lionkor/my-new-repo to create a repo (GitLab allows this, and it makes working a lot smoother).
The PR view is horrendous. GitHub actions are nice, but not great. I prefer GitLab here, too.
Then again - nobody is forcing me to use GitHub, so I dont have an issue with it. If it becomes more shit, people will migrate, and it will slowly die.
Tools which assume github as the primary git repo host are faulty by design, though.

You might be surprised how vendor lock-in can prevent many projects from migrating in the future. If you’ve not yet migrated, it would be wise to stay away from Microsoft-GitHub-only features.
