> I see people on here complaining about cargo-culting from the cool kids (k8s, spotify's team structures, etc., ect.), but I see git as exactly the same.

The big advantage of git is github and co, not git itself. By switching and using mercurial you lose all of the advantages of github too.

Well that's a different argument.

The irony is I use git for all my projects, too, due to the network effect. It's vastly easier to go with the flow rather than swim against the tide. But every time I have to wrestle with un-fucking git's state I find myself considering my life choices and how I got there :(

Amen to that. I love Fossil for its simplicity and batteries included model. No external ticketing, wiki and documentation to manually keep in sync. Plus everything inside a single SQLite file makes everything easier.

I thought that mercurial was able to push/pull from a git remote.

You can use the hg-git extension for that:

https://hg-git.github.io/

Or there's sourcehut so you can use Hg. https://sr.ht

It's not as “accessible” though: it's not free and is less user-friendly.

During the alpha, SourceHut is free to use, except for builds.sr.ht, which was abused by crypto script kiddies.

I think you can pay as low as 2 dollars a month to use SourceHut.
