Github is a private VC funded company that we don't own that tomorrow could go away or adopt policies harmful to us. If Ruby can have
rubygems.org
(and if Steph can continue to get funding from INRIA/ESUG), then why can't we have something like STHub that's ours?
+1 Github may be hip today but can be outdated in a few years. If Smalltalk would have chosen a version management technology that was en vogue in the 80s where would it be now? Does anybody even remember one of those from then? Having nice github integration (or whatever might be the technology of the day) is one thing, completely relying on it is something different.
We would be using SourceForge, probably :). Some projects still use it. Which ones? Well... the ones using Subversion, mostly old projects (although still maintained).
But I couldn't find a new project choosing it over GitHub for code management.
