I think one issue is that the only still offer CVS for SCM, while many people
want something else now: Subversion or darcs for example.  ( Although people
have figured out how to publish darcs repos into their SF web space:
http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-d5a5bbdfabe810765004987ace054cb5e90e9ab8
 ).

There's also the ads. It's nice to work in ad-free environment whenever 
possible. 

It's still nice that SourceForge bundles several services that somewhat 
integrated and
ready-to-go.
