"You adopt the child, you're responsible for it"

MS didn't write Skype but it sure got worse after they bought it.

ClearCase was as delightfully terrible before IBM bought it and before Rational bought it. Writing off all software from IBM because they sell some lame software just seems weird. It's a huge company. I'm sure some people who enjoy soup have written bad software but it's saner to evaluate whether software is actually good or bad rather than checking if the authors like soup.

If you disregard their bully sales and "promotion" tactics ando how much the "Rational" suite of products cost

So no, I'm happy that github took over and I'm happy to boycott it as much as I can

Fwiw it came from the IBM acquisition of Rational.
