pre-Atlassian BitBucket was a lovely app, then they landed that Web 9.0 JS abomination redesign. Because waiting 30 seconds for uncached Javascript assets to load while on the clock is totally acceptable, when all you really need is 500 bytes worth of a Git directory listing to render.
Left feedback, no response. Left feedback again, still no response. Moved everything to GitLab.
It's really hard to see great apps like this (and Reddit as a more recent example) destroyed by.. seemingly.. people given too much time to do their jobs. I'm not a front end guy, but the feeling I get is that it has the same problem as backend. Can't just cobble a few well-tested Django views together any more, must have a 16-microservice mess to ensure the CV is fully padded. Makes me so sad
Man, Atlassian... they royally screwed up with SourceTree as well; v2 is unusable on many systems, to the point that myself and many users have downgraded to v1.
For a bit of entertainment, take a look at this open issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7374 created on 01/Jun/2017. Yes, an issue that makes the product unusable for many users, that has been open for over a year now.
The biggest complaint that I've seen against bitbucket is the ties to Atlassian and the fact it is a closed source product. Most of the ones featured here are some form of open source or open core for GitLab.
