I've been using ADO for the past year or two and I don't hate it. While it absolutely lacks features, and most ADO things have relatively tough to use UIs, it _is_ extremely fast compared to GitHub and has some amazing UI designs for a couple things (especially reviewing large PRs).

Although from what I heard they're porting the good parts into GitHub and deprecating/putting into maintenance mode ADO soon.

Hush hush! By now that’s pretty much an open secret covered by various NDAs :)

What even the NDAs won’t tell you though is how much time ADO has before it’s fully “dead”. If Microsoft’s track-record is anything to go by, I would assume ADO customers will be “encouraged” to migrate 3-5 years from now, with at least another 5 before they start closing down, if not more.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out when the time comes.

I’m curious as to how the heck they’ll move the data over. ADO projects are made up of many git repos with a shared ticket setup and all of the links are configured that way. I have no idea where I’d even start with that.
