Bitbucket lol .I would rather not.
I used to love gitlab (great CI!) but the quality is really going down. Everything is slow and there UI is full of bugs (god I hate there virtual srolll in epics).
There is also sourcehut. They have the best CI for me but sadly issue / merge request management is mail based.
Gitea looks like it is going the gitlab way with enterprise support and cloud because they need to make money.
Forgejo is cool (how do you prononce it?) but I am really sad they based there CI on github action.
Bitbucket makes total sense for companies thanks to the Jira integration and wide range of integrations with the CI pipelines.
As a private person, why would you ever use an Atlassian product?
There's a threshold where good integration does not trump shit product. Bitbucket sucks. I'm glad we're not using it even when we're still stuck with shit Jira and confluence.
Whats the reason for it to suck in your opinions?
I think it works pretty good. Pull-Requests are easy to follow, you can even suggest minor code changes directly in your comments or create Jira tickets for follow-up tasks. Commit history is nicely readable. CI works very robust and has lots of possibilities. Project level permissions and branch settings are easy to create. I have nothing to complain really
I've not used it much, I think I only had to use it in two instances due to customers. From what I remember, the structure and navigation was not hierarchical making navigating very inefficient and irritating.
I'm used to GitLab (and Phabricator in the past, and outside of work GitHub), and much prefer their repo, project, group representation and review UI/UX/workflow.
