Personally I hate it due to its slowness (is its underlying storage floppy disks?) and general half-assedness typical of any modern Atlassian product (latest example: click on a pipeline from a PR then press the back button - takes you to the pipelines list view instead of back to your PR).
It's so solid, you don't even get syntax highlighting in pr reviews. Solid single color like I'm reading a legal document.
You want to write suggestions in your pr review? You can only select a single line and you will have to write a regular code block not a suggestion block.
Your comments and discussions over that line? Gone, after a force push bitbucket acts like it saw the blinding light from men in black.
Yeah... I can't believe some of the people commenting here. When there's an article about China, and there's comments in defense of the CCP, we suspect trolls. But my experiences with every single Atlassian product are so bad that I can't help myself thinking that there's some sort of troll army at work here from the Atlassian Marketing department.
Or my experiences with Atlassian have just been non-representatively bad.
Or those people work in jobs where the standards are just disappointingly low.
Having read through all the comments, I just don't know anymore.
Can’t speak for their other products but Bitbucket had free private repos first.
Now that I have a bunch of personal projects there, there’s no reason to switch. In 10 years the service was only down a couple of times. And I like the Web UI - I don’t think GitHub’s Web UI is any better.
So my experience using Bitbucket hasn’t been like living under the CCP. Maybe if I tried Jira I’d think differently?
