BitLocker is only available in some versions of Windows 7 (Ultimate and Enterprise, but not Home or Professional) and Windows 8.x (Pro upwards). So there is no free-as-in-beer option for many Windows 7 or 8 users.

Losing a cross-platform encrypted disk image format will also be a problem for those who use TrueCrypt images on top of cloud storage such as Dropbox.
