I'm one of the earliest GitHub users, have run FOSS projects, etc. Sapling is absolutely excellent. If anything, the 'sl web' UI alone to do rebases and changes in alone is worth giving it a shot.
The UX just has lots and lots of polish in small ways and it has a nice amount of good features. It has fewer verbs than Git, but it's still a bit different from Mercurial. Having a built in 'undo' command that basically always works is nice.
I have replaced Git with Sapling (and a similar-but-not-the-same system, Jujutsu) in most of my own personal workflows at this time. If that's a good enough endorsement for you, then I suggest trying it out. You might be surprised.
