A while back my team switched to from an internal SVN system to BitBucket. We're now buying into the Atlassian OnDemand platform so it was definitely #2 for us.
Seems like Bitbucket was acquired by Atlassian for two reasons:
1. Free DCVS hosting as a free perk to existing customers, with tight integration to existing Atlassian products.
2. Free DCVS hosting to non-customers, with the hopes of converting some to the Atlassian suite.
