I haven't used bitbucket much, but things like the Compare view make Github really nice: https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/v3.0.2...3-0-stable https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/v3.0.2...3-0-stable Github Pages are really useful. Maintaining a project site is really easy when you can just create a gh-pages branch and push to it to update your site. Also, network effects are undeniably part of the appeal. I'm much more likely to hack on a project or library if I can fork it on Github. It makes for a nice workflow.
