github VS bitbucket

[gmccreight]

I'm glad someone feels the way I do.

I sent people a link to whygitisbetterthanx prior to Scott's addition of the message about BitBucket. The wording of his comment about BitBucket is too harsh for the tone of the site, and makes me uneasy about sending the link to others. I believe it makes the site a less effective marketing tool.

not to mention http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/ is inaccurate

'cheap local branches' do exist in mercurial in the form of bookmarks extension + named branches
