It's just extremely low friction. Push some YAML in an existing repo, done. I've enjoyed using TeamCity in the past, and tolerated Hudson/Jenkins, and I do keep expecting to hit something that makes me want to go back, but it hasn't happened yet.

Another way to put it: any CI properly integrated to Github will be #1 CI by sheer market size.

Gitlab has a similar YAML system from more than a decade, it's low friction, pretty polished and highly reliable. But it will always be a more niche product by the effect of Gitlab being way smaller that Github.

I've used Gitlab before, I have found it to be more complicated than I'd like. Not sure why but it feels harder to use.

These days Drone CI is my current favorite for OSS projects, I'm forced to use gitlab at work so that's what we use for internal projects.

I think Drone appeals to me for its simplicity, golang choice and docker everything. Not that it doesn't have its own set of issues as well.
