All of this is true of github, codeplex, and google code to name three
alternatives just off the top of my head.  There are others I'm sure.

I voice my preference as someone that formerly hosted open source
projects on sourceforge, attempted to interact with the owners of that
site to address what I (and others) perceived as its shortcomings, was
basically rebuffed and eventually decided to move to another open
source project community site.  (I chose codeplex, but that has no
real bearing on the lameness that sourceforge has become.)

I'm not an active SIMH developer, so I provide my opinion as food for
thought, but its not a compelling reason to do anything either way.
