There are valid reasons not to use sourceforge.
You know, each sf project can have a "homepage" link, and I once spent half an hour searching for where to change it. I kid you not.
I have searched for 10 minutes on how to reply to a bug report and attach a patch. I gave up in the end.
I'm still the owner of a dead project on sourceforge. I've tried several times to delete that project, but there was always something that prevented me from doing it (I don't recall, I think the project had a mailing list, and I didn't have permission to delete the mailing list, and I couldn't delete the project without first deleting the mailing list. Or something.).
sourceforge simply isn't usable. The makers know that, which is why they do a big redesign/relaunch every two years or so -- but each one makes it worse.
