I guess the bitbucket's UI is a ripoff... the same way that OpenOffice's UI is ripoff of MS Word. This argument has been pulled so many times before and it's not relevant in this topic which is github's often downtimes.

No, but it's hardly a point in their favor, either. Anyways, OO looks like Word because the professional-compatible text editor UX is generall pretty static Toolbars, buttons, etc.
BB on the other hand is just missing some curved buttons on their UI - you have to admit the resemblance is uncanny.
I get the same gut feeling from Bitbucket as I would from a chinese knockoff of a well known product. Sure it might even be better in some ways but it still feels like a cheap imitation of the original.
Call me crazy :)
