GitHub in essence is still pretty much the same, there's products that have feature creep but I wouldn't say GitHub does that.

I can't say that I'm having issues with the performance either. I work with large PRs too (Especially if there's vendored dependencies) but I never ran into a show stopping performance issue that would make it "useless".

I think we're using two different products. Off the top of my head, I can think of Github Projects (the Trello-like feature), Github Marketplace, Github Discussions, the complete revamp of the file-viewer/editor, and all the new AI/LLM-based stuff baked into yet another feature known as Codespaces.

Good for you. I suffered for maybe 4 years from this, and so have many others: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/39341

I remember GitHub from years ago. I still find myself looking for things that were there years ago but have since moved.

Also, GitHub search is (still) comically useless. I just clone and use grep instead.

    I've also loaded repositories into a web instance of vscode (with the '.' shortcut) and done Cmd-Sh-F, which also works better than their search.
