imho, as biased as a huge fan of hg can be, and someone who lives in git on a day to day basis, is that git has an actively hostile UI, mercurial has a great one.

all the other technical gizwangs can be debated by propellerheads till the cows come home, but the user experience is quite plainly better in hg.

flamewar goes here ->

I think the point that the UI of the default tools is better in Mercurial is entirely uncontroversial.

However, equating that to the user experience is short-sighted. The user experience is also how well the tool works and fills the needs of the user. It think it's very controversial to state hg is better there (this is a polite way to say you're completely wrong).
