Same thing seems to apply to Visual Studio Code. Sure they have a big changelog, but the actual experience of using it feels very much like when it first released.
I strongly agree, and it's weird how much hostility I encounter from folks who think the opposite. There are an endless amount of interesting and/or useful things to learn in this industry; spending time relearning how to do a mundane task in an app I've been using for a decade is a waste.
It's not just "in this industry," the problem is a societal one. It just goes to show you how unwise some people are. They like to "learn new things," so proceed to relearn the same thing over and over. They got brainwashed by the "new is better" meme.
I am sure Github will be around in the decade, but I am not sure at all it will still be everyone's default location to host source code. Which is a pity.
It has great extensions, lets you work on remote machines as if they were local, and supports language servers, notebook interfaces, and all manners of code intelligence.
