Some users are sad to see Ghostty go, while others are not surprised.

I know this is ridiculously dramatic, but its the truth: I actually cried writing this blog post (tears hit my keyboard, I’m embarrassed to say). Nobody should cry over a SaaS, of all things. But GitHub has meant so much more to me than that.

Others are more critical of GitHub’s current state.

It really has been remarkable watching GitHub just crumble as an organization. There’s a lot of discussion about why: the switch from being independent to being part of Microsoft, having resources pushed to Copilot instead of core service, the organization structure itself, a reliance on vibe coding, etc etc.

What’s Next?

A new platform may emerge to fill the gap left by GitHub.
