What do you mean 'meddle'? GitHub was looking to sell. Pretty badly by the numbers, considering how much money they were burning. GitLab has the issue of slowness, as their free service just isn't as good, because they can't afford to just burn VC money. That's why GitHub was good.

Exactly what meddle means. If the developer community jumps ship as soon as MS acquires a developer tool, then MS will stop buying (and later ruining) developer tools.
