Who is shunning Bitbucket and why? Something happened that I missed?
- bjacobel 10y agoIt never comes up in the same breath as GitHub and GitLab. The major differentiator for Bitbucket that's the primary reason many people I know have Bitbucket accounts - that they offered free unlimited private repos when nobody else did - doesn't differentiate them anymore.
- egeozcan 10y agoGitHub neither offers free private repos nor Mercurial support. For me and many others, Mercurial support is a big thing. Bitbucket may still be less popular but I don't see it being shunned. That's what made me wonder. I wouldn't mind if you said that it was not given enough attention or even that it was being ignored (Although I'd still disagree). Maybe bad choice of words?
- andrewingram 10y agoEven prior to its acquisition. I seriously disliked finding projects on Bitbucket, the UX just seems to be wrong for how I want to interact with codebases and documentation. It's only gotten worse since they were bought.
