So that it's harder to read or download without git or specific
browsers, or even without JavaScript; or has SourceForge reached that
level of unusability now too?

I mean, while I could understand SourceForge being not recommended for
some reasons (which ones?), it strikes me as unlikely that GitHub is a
good option, given how they've been progressively rendering it unusable
on the web (three years ago or so it was different in this regard), and
I guess/hope that, for the git part, there would be other alternatives
there, or there really are none?
