But Bitbucket is fricken awful though. I think I have an allergy to everything designed by Atlassian

Bitbucket crashes minimal browsers like Surf and github doesn't. So, in that regard, Github is better.

Interesting, didn't know that. But it seems easily fixable for BB and probably doesn't drive much of the difference in popularity.

It seems odd to blame BitBucket and not Surf for this.

Is there anyway to search bitbucket? Can I link my profile to someone so they can see all my projects? I'm only dimly aware of bitbucket, but if these criteria are easily met then I might even consider changing over.

i don't use bitbucket so can't comment if they provide this. but github has a nice hack allowing you to svn checkout a portion of a tree

on a slow connection, this allows you to work on or inspect repos that are too large to git clone (one of the few major complaints i have with git itself)
