The one thing I would disagree with is that Github's issue tracking still needs some serious love (although it has improved significantly since launch).

Mainly I would say that it works great for projects with relatively few contributors (like most Ruby gems), but seems to fall apart on very large projects (like Rails, who uses Lighthouse for issue tracking). Everything else about Github is amazing, though.

I think Github's issue tracker is the best around, now that search actually works. Very lightweight, and the integration with commits and pull requests is really nice.

dhh doesn't sound like he was ever a fan of Lighthouse: https://twitter.com/#!/dhh/status/63366853636009985

I would use it if it allowed groups to keep all of their issues in one place. Our organization has 20+ repos, so having 20+ bug trackers is pretty dumb. If they make a toplevel issue tracker, I think we'd switch to it.

Rails no longer uses lighthouse. They've been using GH issue for months.

Ah oops, it's been a little while since I jumped in there. Guess that's a good sign I need to find something to fix :)
