I don't see myself switching to this, but I'm glad it exists. After Google Code was shut down, it was clear that GitHub would remain miles ahead of any competition, making it the default choice for most orgs. That worries me quite a bit.
- robotnoises 11y agoAgreed, and I'm glad companies like Amazon with deep pockets are deciding to jump into the pool with github, as adoption of these competing products are probably going to be very slow short of some sort of event like what happened with SourceForge.
- wylee 11y agoI mostly use GitHub these days (at work), but I think Bitbucket is pretty similar in terms of features and may even be better in some ways (e.g., I like Bitbucket's design better, and they give you unlimited private repos). I don't think you could say GitHub is miles ahead of Bitbucket, except maybe in terms of users. Regardless, I agree that more competition is good.
- sirius87 11y agoI meant miles ahead in terms of users, dev mindshare, and that special community feeling.
