Why do you think that it's not good? From what I've heard so far, I'm hoping for integration with MS accounts so I can have a better time coding on Windows (i.e. connecting VS with my Github so I can edit projects a bit easier than current solutions)
I'm interested to hear what the cons are :)
One concern I have is with companies, like Google moving away from GitHub because it is now owned by Microsoft.
For what I think MS will actually do to ruin GitHub, I don't really know. It just is really worrying to see such a big company buy an independent company like this that most people think of as free and open.
I also don't know what is going to happen to Atom, the electron based text editor created by GitHub, as MS has an electron based editor of their own, VS code.
I guess most of my concerns are pretty ungrounded, but big tech companies buying out independents like this always makes me sad.

That's a fair point about Google, I also hope that other companies don't move away.
As for Atom/Electron/Github Desktop and all, I actively use these technologies and it doesn't sound like MS will be too invasive ("We are committed to being stewards of the GitHub community, which will retain its developer-first ethos, operate independently and remain an open platform." link to MS's post here). Anyway, here's to hoping that we won't get f***ed.
