I don't particularly see the difference and switch between both pretty much daily - granted I don't take advantage of Github social features really.


One major thing that bitbucket does better: giving you information about a commit. It has side-by-side diffs, and while you're looking at a diff, you can expand the context easier. See a few lines have been modified but can't tell what method was modified? Click the ellipses and bitbucket will ajax in more context. In github, your only option is to go to the file itself and match up the line numbers from the diff (even worse, there are ellipses to click on, but it just jumps you to some random point in the page).

The only thing I miss in bitbucket from the github world are gists.


If you don't take advantage of the Github social features, which is essentially what Github is all about, I don't think your opinion on the matter is worth sharing with everybody, no offense intended.


Which social features would you say are missing, bearing in mind that Bitbucket has teams, issue tracking, wikis, pull requests and code review features?


My comment didn't have anything to do with any features that Bitbucket may or may not be missing, so I'm not sure why you are asking me that?
