Trac is powerful, but it is also complex.  We use it internally for or
corporate dev intranet, and the power is great.  It is just a pain for
some OSS work where all you really want is working VCS and a way to
host documentation.

The fact wiki is in vcs also makes it possible to do things like
generate documentation and check that in.  (think doxygen checked in
and pulled from the repository).  Very interesting way to keep
documentation up to date.

We had tons of problems with SF reliability.  The servers would be
down, the administration was a pain, etc.  Google just seems a lot
more reliable and higher performance.  (I have no numbers to back this
up though).
