Worth mentioning that github ended killing ZenHub, by introducing github projects, which is essentially copycat of the only useful feature ZenHub had.

GitHub projects is a much worse experience and still missing a lot of what ZenHub offers. It ranges from obvious holes like half decent filtering of the project board to niceties like viewing issues in a pop up modal rather than their own page (causing you to lose your spot in the board).
GH projects also has this arbitrary distinction between notes and issues, and notes are more or less useless yet the default when adding new items to the board.

Sherlocking is a well-known risk every tenant application must consider if they want to make a business out of it.
I would hope and expect that the ZenHub folks always understood github could just integrate the features directly, and not necessarily by buying zenhub.

As a daily user of ZenHub for over a year, I would strongly disagree that GitHub projects offers the same feature set. A Kanban view, yes.
Also a Zenhub customer. I can't but assume features would be coming stronger and faster had GitHub not implemented projects.
