I agree with this sentiment and the bulk of your message. > Sourceforge > ----------- > > Sourceforge used to be free (in the "open source" sense") and were They returned to running open source infrastructure a few years ago when they switched to Allura. That being said, the rest of your categorization still stands and are reasons why I have shied away from using Sourceforge in recent years. I understand why people are lobbying for GitHub from the community/network effect perspective. Aside from a significant number of projects using GitHub, there's also a fair amount of products that integrate with GitHub (like travis-ci.org). There are far fewer that integrate with Bitbucket and/or mercurial. That alone isn't much of a reason, though, if Bram isn't going to take advantage of those integrations. It has already been shown that people will use the tools they like and are comfortable with, regardless of where the Vim project is hosted. Both Bitbucket and GitHub offer significant improvements over Google Code but only time will tell if that actually helps the community interact with Bram and vice-versa. It doesn't matter how many bells and whistles there are if Bram doesn't feel like they offer any benefit to his workflow.
