I have the opposite opinion. I think every few months I see an interesting feature being added that are slowly making github a better platform. Just for the last few months we've seen a lot of improvements for Enterprise, improvement to gitHub pages, saved replies, team discussions, security alerts. I love the pace they have to release meaningful improvements.

That's almost entirely because of the competition with Gitlab.

If the outcome is that they're adding more features to make the product better who cares? That's competition functioning as intended.

Oh snap. Atom would be killed of. No business can afford developing two same products.

You’re kidding, right? Anyway Microsoft will kill it and replace it with VS Code, a much better editor.

Indeed; why pay the overhead of shared libraries or timely security updates: https://www.noobslab.com/2017/07/atom-text-editor-can-now-be...
