title: Bitbucket reliable?
body: <p>I understand this question is on the edge of being acceptable for stackoverflow, but still, I feel it is worth asking.</p>
  
  <p>I've started using bitbucket.org a couple of days ago, attracted by mercurial hosting, 1 free private repository, a wiki and an issue tracker. Just what I needed for my project.</p>
  
  <p>I have to say, the features offered and the website's interface looks great, and I didn't have any problems with mercurial-related things so far. <strong>However, after these couple of days I am doubting if I should move somewhere else while it still easy (I haven't advertised the wiki page yet, etc...), because I am running constantly into minor and major issues</strong>:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Over these few days, I've noticed a lot of site slowdowns and a couple of timeouts</li>
  <li>I find the wiki to be rather limited in features (apparently it is based on Creole Wiki, never heard of it before). It does not allow for, for example, right-aligning of images, borderless tables, etc. (well maybe it does, but the documentation doesn't tell)</li>
  <li>I've noticed some bugs in the wiki (a TOC-generation macro issue was <a href="http://bitbucket.org/jespern/bitbucket/issue/561/toc-macro-seems-broken" rel="noreferrer">reported</a> over a year ago, but still not fixed)</li>
  <li>I've tried making my wiki public by changing the settings in the Admin panel, but it doesn't work.</li>
  <li>some more wiki things [like inserting images is awkward, creating a new page isn't very obvious, internal linking has it's issues as well, .. ]</li>
  <li>the sort order in the newsfeed was wrong when I pushed a multi-commited changset</li>
  <li>It's very nice (and brave!) they have an publicly accessibly issue-tracker for bitbucket, but seeing a list of over 500 <em>open</em> issues (28 pages * 20 issues per page) doesn't give the impression they are taken care of as well as they could. At least some issues could have been moved to some 'will-not-consider' state. I am afraid my bug report about the private/public wiki page will still be in there within one year</li>
  <li>The blog has a lot of post about 'downtimes'</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now, I don't want to be too hard on the people/company running bitbucket, since it isn't clear to me whether it is practically run by a single person (in which case it is truly amazing) or a well-run company (in which case it is not :-). Perhaps they have some growing pains... It is hard for me to tell.</p>
  
  <p><strong>So, what I am looking for here, is some experiences of other people with bitbucket, and advice if I should hold out, and wait until things improve (good chances for this?). Or not</strong>.</p>
