I'm a Microsoft employee on the Git team.

Microsoft is moving to Git and we use Team Services / TFS as our Git server for all private repositories. GitHub is only used for OSS since that's where the OSS community is.

Any comments on why you picked GitHub (propietary) instead of GitLab (FLOSS) for FLOSS projects?

It's also not just the community, but GitHub provides significantly better integration support, than GitLab. Since GitHub has such a robust API, it's easier to create bots and what not, to help better manage large open source projects.
