I have a tin-foil open-software belief. I believe that Microsoft should stop buying gigantic open-source projects, but it keeps doing that. Why does everything good have to join Microsoft... First it was Github, now NPM. What's next? Does Microsoft hurt OSS? Doesn't seem like it. It has most of its developer-oriented software open-sourced anyways. But do I like that major OSS projects are joining Microsoft? No.
