Agreed Pivotal one is great. I've tried several others and it's the simplest and easiest. I've been using one called GravityDev at my job and it's nice ( although my team is using it like a PMO tracker despite my best efforts... ) but Pivotal is way simpler and nicer to use. Though I have only used it in small teams.

We've recently moved from Pivotal to GreenHopper (Jira) and every single engineer wants to go back to Pivotal. We've given GreenHopper a couple of months to give it a fair chance, and in every way it's clunkier and more confusing than Pivotal.

Just curious, what were the reasons you decided to move away from Pivotal? We're looking for a new project management system and JIRA is one we've been looking at, but on first look, it does seem like information overload.

From a user's perspective, Hg is so limited I consider it basically unusable.

I seem to get my stuff done in either. What's missing for you in hg?

rebase -i and add --patch were the dealbreakers

Also I have yet to see a hg tutorial that didn't at some point recommend making a second clone of the repo in order to do something complicated.

I use and enjoy using Mercurial for most of my projects. But it has nothing , NOTHING as good as git rebase -i

"hg histedit" is almost exactly the same as "git rebase -i", right down to the UI.

You have just made a huge improvement on my work life! Thanks so much

Why do I need a separate login account for MyAtlassian vs BitBucket?

I recently stopped paying $12/month for github and moved all my private repositories to bitbucket. Since it's just me working on the repositories, it's totally free.

I think Github unnecessarily is having a LOT of its lunch eaten by Bitbucket b/c of its unwillingness to let people just have a bunch of small private repos for low activity work.

If 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.

JIRA seemed to complicated to me. Sure, I could figure it out, but getting my stakeholders to update issues and keep track of things in there did not seem nearly as feasible as it has been in a simpler tool like redmine. Redmine is far from perfect, but a monkey could figure out how to use it, which is important if you have your clients engaged in the project management process (granted, I know not everyone has this…

This is really the use case that http://PMRobot.com addresses, keeping set up fairly simple, while allowing clients to be as involved as they want. Either dealing with everything from their email, or else just logging in and submitting issues as they wish.

Late to the game with a shameless plug:
