Wow, over 77% of surveyed Git users use Github! What incredible traction! Congrats!

It's worth pointing out (as the linked page does) that the survey was announced prominently on GitHub (and wasn't on some other Git hosting sites), so those results might be skewed.

(Either way though, they clearly do have a ton of very well-deserved mindshare. GitHub one of the very few services I find to be worth paying for. I wouldn't be nearly as attached to Git as I am if GitHub didn't exist.)

Why not?

Hosting your own Git repository is not an overly complicated affair, and even if GitHub did not exist, what would be the lure of an alternate content repository mechanism?

Only half of surveyed users use “shell completion of commands”. It’s useful (e.g. autocompletion of branch names), but doesn’t come with the default Git distribution (at least on OS X). I expect this to change as a result of this survey.
