Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

Elon Musk buying it.

Seriously though, it would take something rather drastic. Our company briefly tried using bitbucket, but it was just worse overall. Don't touch a running system.

Holy hell, you went for the jugular.

The guy owning the Xhub.com domain is rubbing his hands right now.

He'll rename branches tubes and merge conflicts X, and with that he'll come up with the new name: xtube

He shouldn't be. Elon doesn't give massive payouts. If he really wanted that domain, he'd trademark it and sue the owner for it.

What's the problem with bitbucket? It's a solid... oh shit sorry atlassian is down. One moment.

I haven't had reliability issues with BitBucket. My main complaint is it's just really difficult to use.

I just find my time in GitHub is smoother and easier. For example comparing branches/tags to each other... in GitHub if you open a release from a week ago, there will be a link "this is 12 commits behind your main branch" and you can just click it to view the code in those commits.

BitBucket doesn't even have releases. They just have tags which can trigger pipelines. Functionality wise, it's the same thing. But from an ease of use perspective GitHub is so much faster and easier to navigate as long as your project follows standard branching/tagging/etc practices (which it should, especially if you're working on a team).

They don’t even have syntax highlighting on pull requests. Like the fuck

They recently added it as a experimental feature and it has been working fairly well, at least for Java. As far as I recall, each user needs to activate it themselves via settings. Far from optimal but better than nothing.

My one-man software development company is using bitbucket along with a local mirror (with Gitea).

People also said that when Microsoft bought them. In the end it didn't really make a dent in their user numbers
