Bitbucket is an especially awesome resource for students. (Yes, I know GitHub offers free student accounts.) But the unlimited free private repositories makes it easy to back up tons of homework projects (as opposed to the small GitHub offering), without worrying about clogging your quota, or having your work available to the public.

#12I've been using them for a few years now. Free repos got me there. Assembla makes use of it as well, and I've run it through that on a project. I don't do enough open source stuff unfortunately to find myself at Github, but for maintaining a bunch of free private repos its great.

I use both regularly, and while I definitely see areas that I like/dislike in each, I don't really see it as so one-sided. Care to elaborate on exactly what aspects cause such a dramatic swing for you?

Assembla is it's own company and is not associated with Atlassian as far as I know.

#19Bitbucket is great. Glad to see them doing well.

#20If you're wondering how they can offer free private repositories (awesome!), it's probably because they also offer a ton of other tightly integrated services such as Crucible, JIRA, etc.
JIRA is pretty sweet to keep things in order.
