Agreed. This is the first major outage I've noticed as a user of github in several years. I have my grievances with GitHub, but the pull requests, issues and organization systems are really useful for me to have in a team setting, so I couldn't really see myself moving to another code management solution -- what would my alternatives be? JIRA? Lighthouse? And that doesn't even touch on the social aspect -- nothing is quite like github in terms of community vibrancy and activity. I've found so much useful information and documentation scattered through issues and forks that are all through github that I couldn't imagine finding otherwise -- or at least, it would be more difficult to find elsewhere. I really like being able to associate commits to issues via commit message. Still, this kind of outage definitely makes me thinking about having a some kind of a mirror long term -- haven't been able to use my issues all day, and that's kind of frustrating.
