Funny how most git users out there (at least according to the git user's survery 2011 [1]) use Linux, yet github seems to go out of its way not to build a tool for its majority of users. I would also go as far as to extrapolate and state that most github users are Linux users (which is true for every programmer I know on github).
Would it have been that hard to just use Qt and build a cross platform tool? Or is that not hipster-friendly enough?
I guess it's cool to profit, not that cool to give back. I wouldn't use their tool anyway but I think they're assholes on this one.
