My agency is considering switching to bitbucket from github because bitbucket's pricing per team member would cost us 10 times less than github's pricing per repository.
That's the reason we use it. I love GH and use it personally, but the pricing for companies with a lot of private repos (like agencies) is not ideal. We save a considerable amount of money using BB over GH.
BB is pretty great though, so aside from the social factor, the functionality is pretty much the same.
You probably won't notice a difference. Bitbucket acts enough like Github that you won't hiccup.

That's technically true, but ignores the fact that the target market is only paying GitHub because it's popular among developers. If GitHub upsets enough developers, they'll switch to something else for their personal projects, and start recommending other things at work. The type of companies that use GitHub are also the type of companies that listen to their developers about things like what source control to use.

Fair point
On a more important note, you're probably not GitHub's target market. It's more like agencies and in-house dev teams.
