I have to say I have found Launchpad far, far better than GitHub for
exactly the same reasons -- Launchpad supports projects which allow you
to create communities whereas GitHub is just a bunch of individuals.

I think we must recognize that there are no absolutes here.  In order to
measure efficacy, efficiency, "user-friendliness", etc.  there has to be
a concept of goal and task, not to mention personal preferences.

Personally I see no reason to not use Launchpad for Bazaar work, it
works for me.
