There are a few new features over the last 5 years...

  * Merge checks
  * Build status (finally...)
  * Audit logs
  * Inline editing

From: https://bitbucket.org/whats-new

Nothing that keeps it above Github, but they always seem to maintain feature parity.

We're coming up on 6 years now and they still haven't released code search:

That's incredible.

It's okay. It's just that I tried to use it a few months ago and saw they still don't even have syntax highlighting for diffs. It's pretty depressing and it makes it look like they have abandoned the service.

I've been using BitBucket for years and the lack of syntax highlighting for diffs has never even occurred to me.

Why would you want to use such a limited diff tool at all? Personally, I use the best diff tool that I can find and so far that's BeyondCompare from Scooter Software.

I'm with you. I use Araxis Merge. Stupid expensive, but considering I diff dozens of times a day ... worth every penny.

it becomes more important when you use this for code-review. Then reach diffs makes more sense. Once you start using them you don't want to go back :)

It looks like they have added it now.

I wonder if they were slow on updating their site because of Sourcetree, which I personally love (especially since it is a cross-platoform [Mac/Win] GUI client).

No they haven't... I just checked. No syntax highlighting for diffs.

We've added 4 big features just in the last 12 months

+ Pipelines + Git LFS + Smart Mirroring + Merge Checks

More here just from Oct 2016: https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/10/12/scaling-in-bitbucket-c...

Not to mention other features like 2FA, Projects, Snippets, Bitbucket Connect, etc. in the last 2 years

Also Pipelines which is like Travis CI built into Bitbucket.
