Can't take you seriously when you say Github is highly replaceable. Try and go hosting your open source project on some obscure hosted code repository, let me know when you get lots of contributors.

Oh, the free part of Github isn't easily replaceable. It's great for hosting open source projects.

But the private repos and the on-site offering - the things people pay for? Fair bit of competition there.

Quality > Quantity.

Open Source projects existed a long time before GitHub, and will exist a long time after the cool kids abandoned it for whatever reason.
