Around those times I was mostly a .NET kid and most of the .NET projects I remember looking at were on CodePlex, so maybe my perspective is a little distorted.

Your perspective is in my experience not distorted. Programming is not a unique culture, but divided into multiple subcultures. Projects that were nearer to the .NET or Windows programming culture indeed often chose CodePlex instead of GitHub while there was a choice.
