I love it. There being a spectrum between "blessed" and "work of a random" means that we get more software.

And in the end, since it's open source, it's up to me whether I derive value from it.



? My point is that it wasn't 'work of a random'; it was in a repo under the `github` org; with a first-party GitHub website.

OSS is great, I agree, my issue is just with the weird description of GitHub's older similar tool.


That's my point. If a company can release something without being on the hook for it, that's awesome. It encourages them to release half-baked stuff alongside their platinum stuff which is something I desire far more than having them only release stuff that's full-baked.

Simply put, I prioritize more software way more than I prioritize officialness etc.


and done by one of the founders.

But github despises its own 2 founders. As it grew, culture changed and founders became enemies. So it became better to write a new tool rather that cooperating with some people.

Hub has been in development since 2009, for sure the gh team could had cooperated.
