I beg to differ STRONGLY
and before spreading that kind of BS
could you at least list WHY google code hosting is not that good ?

I don't get your point here ?
you can just access your project with 2 different URL
but where is the problem with that ?

from http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WhatsNew
"Easier way to get to project home pages

Shorter, simpler URLs look better and are easier to remember. When
developers put their heart into a project they want it to make the
best first impression, which is often in the form of a URL in an email
or on another web page.

We've always valued clean URLs for project home pages, and have used
http://code.google.com/p/PROJECTNAME since we started offering project
hosting. Now, projects can also be reached via an even cleaner URL:
http://PROJECTNAME.googlecode.com. "

and for the "slow" argument, I think there are better chances
to blame your internet connection than the google servers.

don't tell me you put that URL so people go check there
and click on the ads right ?

yes I work mainly with google code hosting and I will never switch

again if you look here http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WhatsNew
or simply if you use google code hosting more than 5mn

you could see (and use) that
"Source Code Review Tools

Code reviews can be a very effective way to improve your code quality,
and keep your project members involved in the changes that might
affect their work. We now offer a source code review tool that is
integrated with Google Code's project hosting.

Reviewing code in your project is simple: browse any source file or
diff, double click on a source line to add comments, then publish your
comments along with a general comment and score for the revision. "

more info here
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/CodeReviews

you see this is a feature totally made for people working on open
source project,
no other services offer that kind of feature

they explain their goals here
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/MakingHostingBetter

"Mission Statement

To support the open source community by providing a scalable,
reliable, and fast collaborative development environment for open
source software, docs, and standards that promotes best practices in
open source software engineering. "

no come again and tell me that "google code hosting is not that good" again ?

If you're really into open source development there is TWO services to use

1) google code hosting
    http://code.google.com/hosting/

2) ohloh
    http://www.ohloh.net/

they both have the right spirit about OSS
