1. They already have such offering (VS Team Services).

2. Their competitors (GitLab, Bitbucket) already have that offering.

3. I don't think they're interested in GitHub for its revenue, but for its strategic value. GitHub has to protect its revenue model by disallowing free private repos, Microsoft can afford to be more flexible.

4. They've already made similar moves. They acquired Xamarin, which was expensive, and made it free.

Plus I'm sure under Microsoft they will have some sort of free private repos like GitLab, Bitbucket and Visual Studio Team Services already do.

Lack of free private repos is the main (only) reason why I don't use GitHub.

The closing curly braces without opening ones make me go full OCD.

Plus Lineage seems like a much better brand name than CyanogenMod for mass adoption.

Though I would've called it Cyborg or something more analogous to Android.

It doesn't have that many lines on GH when you label it as SQL, but compare that to PL/SQL:

I wonder what will MS come up with to counteract this: Microsoft Windows Ultimate Surface Things.

They're better. If I bookmark something with any service, chances of me ever checking that out again drop to nearly zero.

Tabs, by virtue of being there bugging you, are bookmarks, to-do lists, and task reminders all in one.

That's how you act when you have nothing to prove.

I like that they treat 'web' like an acronym.

Search and Replace in multiple files. That's among the top 10 features that should've been available since release 0.0.1 in any code editor. They're at 1.2 now and still no cigar. Who's the project manager who keeps saying "nah, don't need it"?

Then again, it's a good litmus test. If you find yourself opening your old editor to do something so basic your new editor can't do: what the hell are you doing in your new editor?

Considering the state of American right-wing politics, I don't blame them.

Dude should have made a small fortune selling optimization services to those big corps.
