Absolutely.
I use Bitbucket for a variety of small, personal projects. And when I teach Git courses, I use Bitbucket to illustrate (and practice) pull, push, and pull requests (among other things). Sometimes people wonder why I'm not using GitHub, which has made itself synonymous with Git for many people, but after a short explanation, they understand.
However: GitHub has a huge network effect. Most developers with any sort of open-source connection have a GitHub account; many fewer have Bitbucket accounts. This isn't the end of the world, but it does mean that GitHub has a leg up on the competition as far as name recognition is concerned.
Plus, there are lots of tools that talk to the GitHub API.
So, while I personally endorse using BitBucket, I can understand why many would stick with GitHub. It'll be interesting to see what this price change does.
