For people only criticizing Bitbucket, take a look at this costs comparison https://imgur.com/a/eZPIHXW https://imgur.com/a/eZPIHXW Source: https://www.process.st/bitbucket-vs-github-version-control-software/ https://www.process.st/bitbucket-vs-github-version-control-s...

  We're talking about 200 developers here. If you truly have such a large corporation you would just host your own gitlab instance, right?

    It depends. Every case needs to be analyzed and calculated the costs.

I'm amazed bitbucket hasn't got a move on and actually made the product good since Github and Gitlab are 10000x better and speeding away at rocket pace.

  At some point Atlassian will probably throw in the towel and sell off Bitbucket like they sold off HipChat.
  - VvR-Ox 8y ago
    I'm quite sure about that because at some point they'll have to admit they can't keep up anymore. What I dislike about this behaviour is that parts of it (bitbucket, hipchat) are good and they just throw everything away they don't use instead of open sourcing it.

      Not that it matters much. Why would you use the bitbucket source over the gitlab source?

  At work I use Bitbucket, i use GitHub for personal projects but not for any team based work or any projects at scale. Just wondering what are the features that make GitHub/GitLab better? what am i missing?

    We started out on Bitbucket due to their free tier and haven’t moved on since. Generally it does the job, but then again we’re not really using a lot of the fancy features. To us the biggest issue is the speed. The user interface just feels slow compared to eg. GitHub.

      At the moment it takes almost 7 seconds to load a repository details page

      +1 on the speed issue. The entire UI is unbearably slow.

      This is an issue with most Atlassian products. The UI feels like molasses. Github is far, far more speedy.

    Bitbucket's private repos for team upto 5 members used to be really great. But GitHug/Gitlab also offers the same. Advantages of GitHub 1. Better and faster UI in my opinion Advantages of GitLab 1. Awesome CD/CI Integration with unlimited minutes in self hosted runners. It is just brilliant 2. Good integration between issues, branches and merge request 3. Simple time tracking and estimate for issues. 4. Better git history graphs than GitHub. 5. Truly free for any team size. you pay for the enterprise-y features only as required. The basic stuff is totally free

    One personal gripe I have is that the UX for reviewing a PR commit by commit is non-existent in Bitbucket. Github recognises that a commit is part of a PR and gives you next and previous buttons to move between the commits in the PR. Draft PRs are also a great Github feature.

  I don’t really know what the differences are in practice. I use bitbucket for private repos and it’s great for that.
  - baroffoos 8y ago
    If you just use bitbucket as a git host and an issue tracker then not much is different but gitlab has a mountain of other features that are so useful that manage everything else related to developing software.

I'm getting a 403 here so will just say that subtle nod to Marie Kondo in the title certainly made me chuckle.

Well, good for them - now can I log on with Firefox again? Somehow, in the last few months whenever I try with FF I get redirected to an openid xml file...
- jmull 8y ago
  It works for me, so this may not be a general problem. I'm guessing you will need to do something on your end to solve this. E.g., clear some cookies or other bitbucket-related browser-local state.
