Ah, that's quite nice.

And I wasn't talking about Git by itself.
If you look at http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/ , GitHub is listed as one  
of the major reasons.

While I agree that it doesn't really matter what anyone uses for personal  
projects, I wouldn't choose anything non-mainstream for an open-source  
project where community involvement is important. For example, I think  
that moving DMD/Phobos/DRuntime from SVN to Bazaar/Monotone/DARCS would be  
a very bad idea (and I think that GitHub's featureset would fit D's  
community perfectly).
