For anyone who's tried to setup and run Gitorious, an "easily installable" version of anything like it (eg a Github clone) is particularly attractive.
As mentioned, when I see "written in Scala", the implication is you ./sbt package it into a WAR, then stick it in a standard servlet container, and voila, up and running. In Gitbucket's case you don't even have to package it, just download the war.
So for a bunch of coders who may want to run a repo service on their internal network, employer or client's network, this is an interesting option.
Also it's FOSS, which I upvote by default here, be it from Mozilla or a random hobbyist.
PS - Not to bag on Gitorious, great FOSS project and much improved install as of late.
