Isn't Bitbucket owned by Atlassian? Nobody uses any of their products by choice. They sold some enterprise contract to your boss's boss.

Bitbucket is not bad. It has features I miss in GitHub, particularly the larger selection of PR merge strategies so I can satisfy my git history OCD.

Probably the Atlassian product I hate the least.

If i recall correctly the server/enterprise version was completely separate product written in java (as opposed to python which powered original bitbucket.com). I think the java eventually subsumed the cloud product but not too sure of that
