      Good post. Also, in the case of GitHub, one major reason for me for using it is that this is the first place a potential employer will look at to see my work. They won’t delve into the depths of a random git hosting service nobody has ever heard about.

      True, at the end of the day it does come down to number of users, unfortunately. More users does mean more potential help/contributions. I just wish more people would switch to Firefox or another non-Chromium browser.

        The author’s goal, laterally, is to spread Free Software to as many users as possible.

        We’ll never convince anyone that out fight for Freedom is good, by circlejerking.
