I prefer Hg over Git but I use Git. Why? One time I tried to use hg command and it didn't work. Why? I was on a system that had incompatible Python interpreter to the Hg scripts.

That was it. Since then I use Git everywhere even though I prefer Hg.

And one time I tried to install MS Office on my OpenBSD server. Can you guess what happened?

Since then I only use Ed even though I prefer MS Office. What was your point again?

The point is that even though I like Python and Hg, a single snag like that is enough to tip the cost/benefit ratio in favor of C (egad!) and Git.

(With a side dish of "I'm entitled to working tools.")
