<p dir="ltr">It's only easy to leave if you never adopt any GitHub-only services like Travis CI. It's the same lockin play as the one Google uses: make it easy for people to move their data, so they're less likely to notice you're locking them in with proprietary APIs and ecosystems instead.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You unlikely to see significant amounts of VC funding pouring into a company unless the investors see a possible chance to extract monopoly rents at some point in the future.</p>
