Totally agree. Mercurial really is the product that deserves the spot that Git has claimed in terms of being the defacto DVCS. It's generally easier to use, well supported, and more intuitive. The good thing is that there is still a healthy competition out there to push ease of use and features forward. I think promoting Mercurial to help it gain market share is important. You don't have to suffer through Git!

What a silly comment. If using git is suffering to you, then don't. You know what? I hate peas. You know what else? I don't eat them.
You know why git won? HG was slow as molasses when they both showed up on the scene. That and git's branches are a dream come true. I think back then, an HG branch was a clone of the repo.
I can't figure out what sort of suffering people are talking about.
Well, we can't avoid git. Being allergic to git is like being allergic to water.
There are ways around it like hg-git, but they can't really hide the git underneath. We have to use git or be computer hermits.
