The people in the comment are the first ACTUAL people I've met that use bitbucket >_>
I found it pretty popular in parts of the python community. And I guess it's used for a lot of private repositories.

#52Mercurial is a better tool than Git in almost every aspect. It's easy to learn and gets out of your way. I chose it over git a few years ago and sticked with it ever since and used Bitbucket to host most of my stuff. You don't get the community that Github has, but the hosting is great.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills whenever somebody says that mercurial is simpler than git. Mercurial's per-file revlog and structured .hg/store/data is way weirder / more complex than git's SHA-addressed DAG with minimal/orthogonal object types. The only real blemish on git is that lightweight tags should not exist.
I'm pretty sure he's talking from the user's perspective, not design/implementation.

Eh, I am coming from the perspective of a user, not a VCS developer. I find git repositories way easier to navigate, let alone perform complex operations on, because how they work couldn't make more sense to me.

#54I love bitbucket but I would like to be able to create clusters of related BitBucket projects, by language, tool, etc. Right now there isn't even a search feature, let alone any browse capability.

Me too. Public repos github, private bitbucket.
Honest question: why do you need a central repository (SVN style) if it's a private repo? I tend to develop my own projects mostly on two different machines, and the core code management and synchronization doesn't need anything but git itself. Is it so you can use bug trackers etc?
Hmmm..how does synchronization work without a server or direct connection?

#56Bitbucket is nice as a Mercurial or Git repo service but Gihub is a phenomenon.

#57I use Bitbucket at work. And it stinks compared to Github.
I don't particularly see the difference and switch between both pretty much daily - granted I don't take advantage of Github social features really.

JIRA is pretty sweet to keep things in order. Really? I use and love BitBucket, but the last 2 places I worked at used JIRA and it was the worst project management tool I've ever used. I'm sure someone will say they didn't configure it right or educate the devs or something. Seriously though, it was pushed down from upper management in both cases and it was a terrible experience. Then they thought Greenhopper would f…
We use JIRA at Etsy (although we use Github for code reviews, not crucible). It is certainly frustrating, but I tend to think it's a "the worst except the rest" situation. Do you have something you like significantly better? I've experimented with stuff like trello, basecamp etc. and still haven't found them significantly better.
Pivotal Tracker has been the most pleasant team task management experience I've had. Have previously used JIRA, Github Issues, Lighthouse, Mantis, and even a shared Google Doc on one project (works surprisingly well for small teams/projects over a short time period).

I'm currently using Trello quite a bit and also Asana for some newer projects. I really like the "physical card" feel of Trello. I'm a post-it note kind of guy. Asana seems pretty nice so far but is more grid-based. It's very clean and slick though.
