There's a very distinct difference between trusting a company to host something, and trusting them to manage something.
Well, Microsoft has committed to keep #github open, independent, and multi-platform https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/06/04/microsoft-github-empowering-developers/ …
OTOH, gitlab is now funded by Google, do you trust Google managing gitlab any better? ;-)pic.twitter.com/lXZOvemLcV
Google is *funding* gitlab, they're not yet *managing* gitlab. Again, important difference. Microsoft has a long history of letting its corporate interests in one field sneak into another field. I don't trust them enough to not have an exit plan.
Do you really think somebody would give you such a huge amount of money and then tell you "Carry on, do as you please, I'm not looking into your strategy or tactics, I'm sure my money will be just fine"? :-)
Yes, I do, actually. That's kind of the point of that kind of funding other companies. And even if they didn't, then influencing strategy is still a far cry from having direct access to the "delete project" button.
Well, they pressed the "Move your assets to my cloud" button pretty quickly 
Again, difference between trusting them to host, and trusting them to manage. I also would not trust Google, or Oracle, or basically any large company with its separate-from-the-source-collaboration-platform software stack to take over management of github or gitlab.
As I mentioned before, the #Linux Foundation has a slightly better opinion on the matter: "This is pretty good news for the world of #OpenSource and we should celebrate #Microsoft’s smart move." :-)https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/microsoft-buys-github-the-linux-foundations-reaction/ …

And if you hadn't split the thread, it would be clear that the Linux foundation appears to be more trusting than I am willing to be.https://twitter.com/polvanaubel/status/1004814230330200064 …
