Totally agree. I have a programming background but don't really program anymore. My Github account has been used for nothing more than submitting issues for projects I use. Any source control I need for other things I do, I use GitLab because of the free private projects and CI integration, but even that's minimal.

GH made private repos free (for an unlimited amount) a few years back (maybe when MS bought them). Not sure about the free tier for GH actions (their CI).

GitHub also has free private projects and CI though. Is that the only reason?

GitHub has a lot more limitations on free projects last I checked, like making it private and using GitHub pages and how many people you can add.

Since the MS acquisition, free accounts can have unlimited private repos.

GitLab CI is better than GitHub Actions
