GitHub in essence is still pretty much the same, there's products that have feature creep but I wouldn't say GitHub does that.

I can't say that I'm having issues with the performance either. I work with large PRs too (Especially if there's vendored dependencies) but I never ran into a show stopping performance issue that would make it "useless".

I think we're using two different products. Off the top of my head, I can think of Github Projects (the Trello-like feature), Github Marketplace, Github Discussions, the complete revamp of the file-viewer/editor, and all the new AI/LLM-based stuff baked into yet another feature known as Codespaces.

Good for you. I suffered for maybe 4 years from this, and so have many others: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/39341

I remember GitHub from years ago. I still find myself looking for things that were there years ago but have since moved.

Also, GitHub search is (still) comically useless. I just clone and use grep instead.

I've also loaded repositories into a web instance of vscode (with the '.' shortcut) and done Cmd-Sh-F, which also works better than their search.

Gitlab search is even worse, so not surprised.

I noticed this recently too when using Firefox.

Really?

The same since when?

The same in the sense that it doesn't get in the way during my daily work with it. Yes they've added features but that didn't mean that existing features got removed or things got in the way.

In this particular case, they definitely did.
