Stash may not be the cash cow that JIRA is but it seems to make more money than Bitbucket does. My assessment of Atlassian's approach to Bitbucket is based on me observing them handling tickets for it (stonewalling for years), and other users' observations on the difference in the way they handled BB vs Stash. The silence from Atlassian on some years-old Bitbucket tickets is deafening...

Let me just drop this here: https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/8436/not-all-github-... shows that Atlassian can't even be bothered to make it easy for people to migrate to Bitbucket, their repo import tool cannot handle the pagination the github.com API does. They can't be bothered to let people paying to Github pay them instead. My guess is: they don't care about your $5 (or whatever puny amount it is) payment for private Bitbucket repos, they care more about the $XX,000 they get from every Stash license sold. And mentions on Bitbucket tickets make it look like Stash is quite popular in some corporate circles.

NB: GHE may be superior in every way, but does it integrate with JIRA as well as Stash does? What if you've already invested in JIRA and want to add a repository management platform? (Also, don't underestimate the portion of the market "terrified of the cloud".)
