To be fair, hardly anyone ever used Bitbucket due to Mercurial support.

Some people probably used it because for awhile, pre-GitLab, it was the GitHub alternative with the most generous free tier for private repos.

However, the overwhelming majority of users probably use it because they're already in the Atlassian ecosystem due to JIRA.

Bitbucket is like an ex girlfriend you don't quite recall why you broke up with, but afterwards every time you meet her and hear her voice it all comes back in a rush how disgusted she made you feel.

Heptapod archived 250,000 Bitbucket Mercurial repos and runs fork of GitLab that supports Mercurial: https://octobus.net/blog/2020-04-23-heptapod-and-swh.html
