Or, you know, use an open source service like Sourcehut.

Of course everyone is free to use whatever they want. But I have to say if asked for a piece of advice I wouldn't recommend Sourcehut, especially to SMBs and Enterprises. It has just too many limitations and the overall experience is not as good as other tools.

There is a reason(few reasons, actually :) ) why GitHub has more than 50 million active developers using it, and why it became the de facto home of Open Source.

That said, if you or anyone else prefer other tools I truly think anyone should use whatever they feel more comfortable with, as long as everyone is fully aware of the pros and cons.

Also, I'd be genuinely interested in knowing what are the reasons, features, and tools that made you decide to go with that platform instead of anything else.
