- toyg 7y agoIt's a shame we lost BitBucket along the way. They were the first to spearhead the "all private repos free for individuals" model that the others eventually adopted.
- ilaksh 7y agoWait we lost Bitbucket?
- avinium 7y agoWhy do you say BitBucket has been lost?
- toyg 7y agoBitbucket is currently lagging behind Github/Gitlab in pretty much all areas. Usability-wise, even in its most basic features, it is simply terrible at the moment. And there is no social effect whatsoever - in fact, placing your stuff on BB right now is practically a declaration that you hate talking to people. It clearly is not a priority for its new owners (Atlassian).
- prh8 7y agoHaving been at a company that was a heavy Atlassian/Jira/BB user, it seems the only reason for companies to ever use BB was because they already used Jira, and/or because of pricing differences vs Github (although that has changed a few times since I've left there).
- techntoke 7y agoThe only reason people pick them is because someone in the tech department got some sweet kickbacks on an expensive deal.
- regecks 7y agoBeing a Bitbucket user is pretty distressing right now. We're invested quite heavily into it, but moving to Gitlab would really address some of our major pain points (having to run Sonatype Nexus, and some Bitbucket Pipelines restrictions). I hope they can catch up before it becomes too tempting to bail.
- orf 7y agoThey could start by adding syntax highlighting.
- pritianka 7y agoI work at GitLab and I completely agree with this! Choices for users and our industry is moving forward embracing the single application philosophy.
