I've been using Bitbucket for 3 years now and i absolutely love the fact that you can create private repos and have many tools available for free, highly recommended.
Ditto! Bitbucket has served me well for so many years esp with their ondemand integrations. I really don't see why I should move to any other gitxxx. Moving tools is also a pain point so best to choose wisely.
I agree, and I also love that for students you get unlimited everything. You get to have 5 team members per repository for free, which is great for smaller development teams. If BitBucket wasn't where I house some of my private projects already I would move to GitLab.
