#2That's certainly a big a step in the right direction.

#3I know its not the elephant in the managed source code hosting space, but I like BitBucket better then Github. I like the option to use Mercerial for projects and I like the way they ask me to pay for things ( pay for private shared repositories ).

#4I like it. Much better than the previous experience, and didn't try to blindly copy GitHub's designs.
Re: Introducing the Redesigned Bitbucket
#5I'm having trouble thinking of reasons why bitbucket is used so much less than github - or at least why it seems that way.
It's looking pretty damn good to me right now!

I like http://beanstalkapp.com/ myself, pretty comparable to BitBucket.

#7Switching markup from Creole to Markdown is very good news, and the preview being back in e.g. issues comments is a good thing as well.
Though I'd prefer the preview to be live...
The readme taking center stage in the "overview" page is nice. Though getting it again in the "source" page is weird

#8For a while I was a bit worried that GitHub had just ran away with the prize and no one else was bothering. It is pretty obvious that Google isn't interested in improving Google Code and that Sourceforge hasn't aged a day (that's not really fair, but it feels like it).
I think there is still a chance for BitBucket to make a splash, but I think its going to be hard to win anymore. That's fine, 2nd place makes a lot of money too (not counting places 1-10 for enterprise source control, which basically print money, and of which GitHub is chasing too).

#9I generally version all the things, and end up with lots of small private repos. Bitbucket's pricing model is perfect for hosting that kind of thing. Really liking the new UI.

Well, Github's UI used to be much better, now it's comparable. I do wonder why Bitbucket insists on having "overview" as the standard page to go to when visiting a repository, making Code the default would be a better idea IMHO. Also because more people use Github, more people are likely to start using it so they can fork their favorite projects
