It's really nice to have an alternative to github.

Say what you want about bitbucket, but people have been banned from github for pretty fickle reasons, so it's nice that they can still host repositories somewhere else for free.

I'll say it, it sucks and its slow. The company I started at recently uses it and I hate it so much. Scrolling through a PR, viewing comments in a PR, adding comments in a PR, its all so clunky and GH Actions destroys BB pipelines. It's crap.

Sure, it's not github, I wasn't claiming that.

But it's good to have competition. Can you imagine if there was only one cell phone provider? Even a subpar competitor in the space can prevent people from being held captive. If bitbucket didn't exist, Microsoft might start charging users per repo for all we know

I have many a times shouted at my computer over the stupidity that is Bitbucket. And I honestly cannot believe or understand that people at Atlassian are using it themselves. I hate the term dogfooding, but how often do these people have to walk into the same walls that I walk into, before they go and improve a thing?

Sure, I get it, they're working on enterprise features that make them (more) money. But then don't have the audacity to present me an NPS survey to see how incredibly happy I am with their product. Ugh.

Atlassian is competing with GitHub and you can't understand why they would ban it?

Don't forget the way revising changes is not a first class thing or tracking comments. Gerrit is so much better

[systematical]

yes we could go on.

Do you run GitHub enterprise on prem? I'm curious because I'm always surprised when I see companies that haven't banned Microsoft server GitHub. Seems like a massive risk.
