Bazaar caught me by surprise, too. I've been enjoying the DVCS world lately, having finally decided that I had outgrown SVN. Mercurial grabbed me more than Git did. My first experience with Mercurial was very natural. Everything that I tried worked the first time in the way I first tried to do it. Git left me fumbling about and googling for answers, but I was able to acclimate quickly. Ultimately, I decided that I would need to use both: Mercurial for my own tastes, and Git just because it's the dominant player. Bazaar looks like a strong competitor, even for Mercurial, in terms of usability.
