I don't have much on GitHub. I am likely to use it less now than I was before, but I didn't really see the appeal before - I'm not quire sure how it became the de facto instead of anyone else's and I've always been annoyed with how many people confuse it with "git" or use it as if it were official in some way (like plugins or package management that take the format "user/repo-name" and assume it's on github).

I will never trust Microsoft. They could spend the next 20 years doing nothing but good deeds and I'd still be wary of them. That doesn't mean I won't use their stuff when I want to, but I try not to encourage others to.
