	I've been using it for a while now, since not long after Bitbucket 
kicked the bit bucket.  The website functions are quite barebones and I 
feel it might be somewhat awkward to use for a larger collaborative 
project.  But it's okay for my own individual projects.  For basic 
push/pull functionality it's perfectly workable.

	My biggest concern is that the creator of the tool is very opinionated, 
so I don't have confidence that he will be responsive as far as 
implementing features that users want (rather than just features he 
personally wants).

	I still haven't found a Mercurial hosting service that adequately 
replaces Bitbucket for my needs.
