Bitbucket: pros & cons
- Deep Jira integration that competitors cannot match
- Built-in Pipelines for CI
- Free tier for small teams
- Smaller ecosystem and community than GitHub
- Less appealing if you do not use Jira
- Pipelines minutes run out quickly on the free plan
iTerm2: pros & cons
- Free and mature
- Split panes and session restore
- Deeply configurable
- macOS only
- Configuration surface is large
- Interface is functional rather than modern
Our verdict on Bitbucket
Choose it for the Jira link, not on its own merits. Outside the Atlassian stack the case is much weaker.
Our verdict on iTerm2
The long-standing default on macOS, and still free. Newer terminals win on polish, not capability.
