BitBucket vs. GitLab.com

I'm not sure I understand the strategic benefit of the #3 player attacking the #2 player, particularly when the leader is so far ahead in terms of market share.

Why don't GitLab & BitBucket instead collaborate, for example by producing a decentralized & offline-capable version of GitHub's key features (issues, pull requests)?

Once you're #1 and #2, then you can turn your guns on each other!

Issues and pull requests are already available in GitLab! Actually, in terms of features GitLab has some more to offer than GitHub.

We also published about us vs. GH: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/01/20/github-enterprise-vs-git...

and even have a page on our site dedicated to it: https://about.gitlab.com/better-than-github/

In terms of comparing us to #3, we want to show everyone, not just people using GH, what GitLab is. This helps people finding us.
