Love bitbucket - use it exclusively for private projects and small group shared projects. If you sign up with a .edu account, you get free lifetime unlimited collaboration, which is awesome.

#32If 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.

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 fix it, ha. (This was about 4+ years ago)
Edit - According to the comments below it sounds like my experience was a result of trying to do too much with it. I just might play around with a bit just for some bug tracking with some of my BitBucket projects.

#33Has bitbucket had any security issues like github has had in the past?

#34It's awesome to have alternatives (especially those that offer a distinct value proposition compared to its competitors) and it' great to see them growing! :)
Re: Bitbucket passes one million users
#35I 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.
Me too. Public repos github, private bitbucket.

I currently use JIRA and love it. It probably just depends on the team and how they like to organize things.

I think one of the big issues with JIRA is that it's configurable enough to be a project management tool. It's a really great issue tracker (IMO), and I think when you aim to use it as more than that (involve proper releases, milestones, scheduling/time-tracking, etc.), all of a sudden you get into the areas where the configuration and education issues that you mentioned become apparent.
Project management software is difficult, you either have a mess of features that don't work well without customization, or you have few features, and force teams to model their workflow around your features.
In the context of this post and the greater bitbucket vs github discussion - do you find GitHub issues to be better than JIRA?

#38I use Bitbucket at work. And it stinks compared to Github.
I have used both for a couple of years and the biggest difference I have noticed is that github has an open, social design while on bitbucket you feel like the only person on the site.

JIRA is really for issue tracking. Grasshopper isn't a fix, they are separate products and thus do not do the same thing. Slamming Jira for project management is like complaining about a rake's ability to dig holes.
Personally I think Jira is a great for issue/bug tracking when using bitbucket.

You must have never used Rally?
Because while I'm not a huge fan of JIRA (I've only used it in the past year so I don't know what it was like 4 years ago), I've unfortunately seen much worse.
