I wouldn't move to GitHub even if it was to provide private repositories for free (which it doesn't). BitBucket just works flawlessly for my needs.

  Aside: anyone with a .edu, .ac.uk or other education-ending email address can get 5 private repos for free. Is there anything specifically about GitHub which puts you off, or is it just that BitBucket works so you don't want to change?

Github has a much worse record vs. Egor Homakov than Bitbucket :) Also, Github is Git-only, while Bitbucket supports both Git and Mercurial. I use both, but prefer Mercurial myself, despite it being less popular.

      GitHub definitely isn't git-only. It supports SVN too, and can import from SVN, Hg and TFS

    I'll just volunteer that BitBucket has worked flawlessly for me for years. Of course I use repos others have setup in Github, but I've never seen any reason to switch.

The latter + all the hype surrounding the GitHub (thousands of 10-line "Ruby gems" and "JavaScript frameworks" don't help the browsability either). I generally dislike monopolies of ideas/implementations.
