Sure, the whole argument is pretty much taste, as the actual tools are
similar enough to where it probably won't really matter which you choose
(assuming that Haiku supports them equally well.)

What's more interesting to me personally is the GitHub alternative. If the
barrier to entry entry for new developers is an issue, making use of their
fork + pull request process, in addition to just how widely used it is by
other projects, should at the very least be tempting.

Vh,
