This is the reason why I don&amp;#x27;t use bitbucket at all, and I&amp;#x27;m happy to give some money to github in exchange for their service.&lt;p&gt;Bitbucket&amp;#x27;s issue tracker is such a pain to work with. I remember being redirected to a new page whenever I had to create a new tag. Then I&amp;#x27;d loose the content of the issue I had started to write, something like that.</text></comment>

Last week was the last one.</text></comment>
