I've used both. The feature sets are approximately the same, though
Launchpad has some features I don't use (translations?) that Github
doesn't have. Github is more code- and developer-focused. The UI is
clean and efficient, and doesn't get in my way. The code browser is
marvelous. One click to favorite, fork, or download a project.
Launchpad's UI feels a little clunky to me in comparison.

Github - 120,000 projects. Launchpad - 12,000 projects. Github has
seen massive uptake in the Ruby community. I am actually amazed at how
fast it's happened. A Ruby project that doesn't at least have a mirror
on Github is effectively abandoned.

Github hosts other stuff besides Ruby. Here's an interesting page
showing how much code in different languages is on Github:
http://github.com/languages
That's the number of non-fork projects that contain at least some of
the language. So if a project has both Ruby and perl, each get a +1.
Interestingly, by number of bytes stored, there's more C than anything
else:
