I don't get the Git fixation. I know it's popular, possibly in a big way due to GitHub. Yet I'm comfortable using Mercurial and Bitbucket. Probably due to Hg being cross-platform from the beginning, it's more Windows-friendly.

Mercurial is fine, but git had github, so that kinda won the war. And not having 7 version control systems to know is nice. So think of git as lingua franca.
