I don't hate Azure DevOps. On the contrary, it's been a phenomenal tool for our organization over the past 5+ years. It's been fairly easy to secure, we have tons of great pipelines that check our code, do deploys, integrate with third-party services, etc. We get great visibility into our organization.

But... I can't help but feel like it's not keeping up with GitHub and am now facing the question: do we basically have no choice but to do a painful migration over to GitHub Enterprise if we want to stay relevant?

In particular, pain we've felt:

1. Where's the Copilot PR review? In GitHub I just click a button and I get an instant first level review of any PR by Copilot. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's more or less free.

2. MCP? Ok there finally is an MCP server for DevOps and it's actually pretty good. But it took forEVER to come out. Is this a pattern that's going to repeat? We have to wait a year for tools GitHub users get right away?

3. Claude Code. On GitHub I can give Claude Code assignments from anywhere -- browser, desktop, phone -- and it runs off in a little dev container and comes back to me with with a PR. Again, not always perfect, but neither are PRs from junior devs. And Claude Code doesn't care if I give it the assignment on a Friday night.

So the titular question: Is ADO effectively EOL?

I'm hoping the answer is no, and we can just hold on till things get better. I'm starting to worry, though, that this is just the sunk cost fallacy. Anyway have hope to offer?
