Bitbucket should add static web-hosting (aka User/Organization/Project pages). That would be a killer!

One thing I miss in Bitbucket is repo discovery. There's no way, or at least I can't find it, to browse the repositories filtering by language, popularity, etc.
1 million users, I don't know how many repos, but I can tell you I've found lots of cool projects in GitHub thanks to to their search/browsing features. I may be wrong but I think Bitbucket needs that.

I respectfully disagree regarding Fogbugz vs. GitHub issues. I used FogBugz for about 6 years in a major client project (a successful SaaS product). We used FogCreek's hosted solution and were pretty heavy users: different projects, milestones, feature requests, user communication, etc. However, we were unhappy with FogBugz. The UI always felt clunky and slow to navigate, it felt like we were battling FB rather than…
When using github, do you keep all of your code in a single repo? If not, have you found any solutions to the "fragmentation" problem where it's hard to get a big picture view due to issues being scattered across different repos? We're looking for solutions for that at my workplace. I haven't used bitbucket for larger projects yet, any insights there also appreciated.
You can use the organization issues dashboard. Its almost impossible to find though (you just reminded me of it and I had to hunt down how to access it: https://github.com/organizations/[Username]/dashboard/issues.

#145I wish they had gist functionality like on GitHub. Otherwise, good service.

This is a huge problem for us also, and I've considered moving things over to Jira several times over the past couple weeks because of it. The only quasi-solution I've found is to feed multiple repos into a single chat room in Hipchat so people can get some idea of progress. More broadly though, I'm quite dissatisfied with GH issues (UI, poor search, clunky milestones, no burn charts, etc.).

Sadly doesn't provide any filtering on tags, which is the only way to assign priority. In fact, all I really get is a list of all open issues.
Re: Bitbucket passes one million users
#148Mercurial 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.
Probably mercury poisoning. It will make you as mad as a hatter. Symptoms include inability to rebase branches or rewrite history, choking on large repos, inability to do more than two-way merges, and clumsy handling of branches. Clean cup, move down, I guess.

There are a number of issues that I'd like to see bitbucket push on. [1], [2], [3], [4] to name a few. If they want to compete with github on features as well as pricing for private repos, they really need to address these things.
