Yeah I don't know what Atlassian's strategy was - presumably they were chasing growth and new customers, but I've never worked at a company that has paid for anything more than Jira and Confluence. I'm sure they have a whole list of other services but I've never personally known anyone to use them.

Actually one company I was at did use Stride and it was truly awful - I don't know how its product manager thought it could compete without such basic features as... the ability to edit and delete a message. But some fool at the company I was at chose it because it was cheaper than Slack.

I was using BitBucket for a while, to have paid access to private Mercurial repositories. Once they decided they no longer wanted to support Mercurial, and go with Git, I decided it was best to cut my losses and move to GitHub's paid plans. Atlassian has not handled offboarding of products very well.

No they haven't. BitBucket I'm guessing is their number 3 product?

I know Mercurial isn't overly popular but I thought it was wise to have a point of difference to the other offerings.
