Github won, not because of taste, but also because of providence and comms. The whole article is written from someone looking out, not in - you can't play a football match and watch it. For the rest of the world, Github came along when blogs and rss feeds were also close to their zenith. IIRC Github used to employ a rather sweary chap that used to blog a lot, and he appeared in everyone's feeds that I knew of promoting github. Whereas, Bitbucket, and FogCreek's kiln had little comparable publicity or comms.
