I agree with you on all accounts ;)

The point I was half-jokingly making was that people don't understand what an extremely powerful tool they have been given and instead complain about shallow stuff that for them is simple to grasp

edit: the way mg, bzr and the rest do the advanced stuff [when available] is basically a carbon copy of git.

I'm a pretty big fan of git, but this is an unproductive stance. I don't know much about bzr, but my impression is that darcs pioneered the ideas that became git-rebase, and elsewhere in this thread people are having substantive discussions about hg (Mercurial; I assume that's what you meant by mg) bookmarks and branches vs git branches: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13229582
