I get why GitLab wrote this, but it seems like just a stab at GitHub.

There seems to be a lot of hating on GitHub here, but I personally love GitHub (and we use GitLab at my current employer).

I think GitLab is doing a great thing, and I appreciate that their community edition is free and open source, but GitHub has been able to provide an invaluable service. They have a great community that facilitates open source projects and a vastly better UI than GitLab (though that isn't saying much with how awful GitLab's UI is).

I'm eager to see how GitHub evolves in the future with GitLab as a competitor, as GitLab has a lot of nice features (built-in CI, etc).

It is a stab and tbh Im glad they took the opportunity. There are few times when a product can be marketed to such effect for as little cost. What they did was show everyone how awesome they are and how stagnent Github is. Github can easily change but most of their decision making is done behind the scenes.

Github grew popular because it was popular. Maybe thats worth something but long term they must adapt just like Gitlab

Yeah, it's bit of a stab. I'm really curious to see how GitHub responds (if they respond). A lot of good could come out of this even if it takes some competition to force some of that.
