The reasons:

  1. The SourceForge servers are often very slow, even with my 64mbit/s down 5mbit/s up internet connection here in Germany. Google's server are simply reaction-faster and better load-balanced.
  2. The whole GoogleCode site (the enduser site backend and the admin web interface) is more cleaner and better usable than SourceForge. And GoogleCode has a nice Wiki integration, what is somewhat better than the stuff at SourceForge, at least for my usage.
  3. SourceForge forces an additional SSH Layer for R/W SVN Connections over Putty/TortoisePLink under Windows as TortoiseSVN user (and without a option to save the SVN user password, argh omg ), if you upgrade to their new platform version, what I've did, but what was a mistake from me at the end. Short: The SVN usage at GoogleCode is better than at SourceForge. And if you're on SF, then don't upgrade to their new platform version, at least, if you're using a SVN repo for your project.
  4. And some other smaller not-so-important reasons.
