Every couple of months I get bummed out Mercurial lost the mindshare war years ago. I used Mercurial before Git and it was perfectly fine and easy to reason about. http://hginit.com/ http://hginit.com/ helped me start out, and it was amazing to be able to work on code without blocking other team members. I know Git now not because it's nice to use, but due to rote memorization and muscle memory.
