> Github is so pervasive that when a project uses another git code sharing site you just get annoyed

Bitbucket's ability to lock down branches is pretty nice.

> Github Issues may suck, but it's so darn convenient and so well integrated. It's far worse when a project uses another ticket tracking system

I don't feel this is true, having worked on projects that used Jira, Unfuddle, Pivotal Tracker, Assembla, Trello, etc. Of course, none of those systems have the killer feature of turning a ticket into a giant scrollfest of "+1", emojis, and animated gifs.
