How are any of these reasons that HipChat is "about to be ruined"? Both of those are huge products, and afaict were developed by Atlassian - not acquired.

Atlassian has made two big acquisitions that I know of (Bitbucket, SourceTree), and in both cases the product was better off after the acquisition.

From what I see, Atlassian goes in and provides cash and infrastructure, leaving the teams that were responsible for the product's success to continue making great things. I don't see any indication that things will be different for HipChat.

Fisheye was bought (as was Clover and Crucible) with Cenqua.
