Because running servers costs money. The project I work on gets donations towards it’s CI costs and it’s not insignificant.

CI runners - GH offers free CI runners for a variety of OSs. I can automatically test my code on Linux/Mac/Windows for free on GH. No one else offers that because it is very expensive. You need windows licenses and Apple hardware. And Codeberg only offers it on Linux after a back and forth discussion. Plus, while simple GH CI Actions move to Forgejo Actions pretty easily, more complex ones require a complete rewrite. Better issue tracking - FJ’s issue tracking is pretty good, and perfetcly fine for small projects, but GH’s is better. Better CLI - fj is decent and improving, but gh is better Better project pages - Codeberg Pages is decent and improving, but GH Pages are better. Lots of other small things - Codeberg is decent and improving, GH is better. For most people, myself included, the only thing that really matters are the CI runners. But that is also the one thing that costs the most to support.
