We use Bitbucket (for over 4 years now) and in general like it mainly for its pricing model. However I have the (generally unfounded) fear that it will become bloated and slow like several other Atlassian products. I have really grown to dislike Jira but I will save that complaint for some other time.

The Bitbucket UI has improved over time but my real annoyance is the "Recent Activity" list is not wide enough and is not very configurable (ie filtering).

Also Bitbucket has sort of forgotten its Mercurial roots. Many Mercurial features have been added but it appears the Bitbucket UI does not show these features (for example Mercurial tracks moved files but Bitbucket does not show this).

The pipeline looks interesting but it is just a little too late for us since we are so heavily invested in Jenkins + Bash and will probably use Jenkins pipeline (Groovy) in the future. And if we do more opensource stuff it will probably be on Github so we will continue to use Travis. Also in all honesty I'm fairly sick of the whole YAML configure the world explosion... I actually miss XML but would prefer a scripting language over YAML (then again maybe I'm the only one who hates YAML).

Finally why is the Bitbucket blog so darn slow?

(I added this critique because I saw a Bitbucket PM floating around here).

Do you really want to switch to Apache Groovy? Bash is pretty standard for scripting *nix whereas noone knows what the standard is for scripting the JVM?

I can't answer the PM questions, but the Bitbucket blog is hosted externally, not on Bitbucket itself.
