> Yeah. From a technical standpoint Git is a lot worse in a lot of ways. From an ease-of-use standpoint it's about as much worse as it's possible to be.
Ten years ago, when I had started to use git after having used both Subversion and Mercurial, I noticed one thing.
Git was FAST.
On repositories of the same size, git was blowing Mercurial out of the water and running circles around it, that's how fast it was.
It was FAST and it fucking got out of my way and let me work.
I don't know the inner workings of either and academic advantages of Mercurial, but I know for a fact it had been a dog and its move to Python 3 had been disastrous. So whichever technical or UX advantages Mercurial might have, I simply don't care anymore.
