Asking around on IRC, it just seems like bitbucket doesn't bring Atlassian a lot of money. It seems that they just see it as marketing for their other offerings, so accordingly bitbucket does not get a lot development.
I wish they improved their Mercurial support. I believe they have only one guy handling all of the Mercurial issues.
- grossvogel 11y agoThat makes sense. I'd guess the main reason people use Bitbucket over Github is "free private repos," with "we already use other Atlassian products" a close second.
- ISL 11y agoThe only reason I looked outside of GitHub was Bitbucket's free private repos. Now, for our academic lab, we're working entirely with Bitbucket (for the UI), and repositoryhosting (for low-cost repo archival with many users). In an academic setting, where private repos are created for each small collaborative project, then left idle but accessible, GitHub's per-private-repo pricing model is prohibitive.
