This x100. I love GitHub's user interface but as a poor student couldn't justify them for my private projects (until I found their free student plan), so I used BitBucket.

BitBucket is very good from a pricing and support point of view (and I actually preferred Mercurial before I learnt Git properly) but it's not nearly as polished as GitHub - one thing that springs to mind (it might have been fixed) was it trying to show me a complete diff of Xcode project files when I clicked on a commit causing my browser to crash. Pretty much the main reason I switched.

I'd be really keen to see some real competition in the hosted social-coding space (it's funny, that sentence wouldn't have made sense just a few years ago), and Atlassian has the resources to do it.




Where can I find out about the student plan?


I only found it by Googling in desperation; they don't exactly advertise it (which I guess is fair enough).
