I have many small open source projects, so bitbucket (which has unlimited public repositories) is in theory a better fit for these: each project can gets its own repository, vs. having each project in a sub-directory of one repository in github.

Unfortunately, bitbucket lacks some features: their markdown syntax does not allow HTML and they have no views / downloads statistics. The lack of statistics means that their search feature is not so good- no way to sort by popularity.

I'm trying gitlab now: it also doesn't seem to have views/downloads stats. Also the web-site was slow a few days ago.

The lack of statistics is odd: even sourceforge has this.
