I moved my repos to GitLab after the announcement. GitLab is actually a really awesome product. It's CI/CD capabilities are top notch, super convenient, and really easy to use. The platform as a whole has so much more to offer out of the box than GitHub, and you get free unlimited private repositores to boot! However, I have considered going back to GitHub lately for two reasons:

  1. GitHub is still the king of open source hosting and I fear that my projects won't be very useful to people if they aren't hosted on GitHub.
  2. GitHub pages allows one to have a custom domain on a user pages project, and all of one's project GitHub pages will be automatically available via that custom domain.
