Charging by repository count, rather than some saner metric more indicative of actual usage (like number of users) is a deal breaker.
Got tired of waiting for Github to stop excluding my team because of the repo count nonsense, went to Bitbucket, never looked back.
Would gladly have paid Github a reasonable amount of money, but according to their silly metric, my little team required a Platinum account.
$20 a month for our sized team at Bitbucket and we have unlimited everything. For $25 a month at Github, we'd already be out of repositories just versioning our dotfiles.
I do agree that by charging by repository count they are losing a large number of customers who run small web design and development shops. If GitHub price per person rather than per repository, they would gain so many more paid for customers.
