A few data points to consider: 1) I happen to work in a dev tools company and we definitely see momentum towards git in our customer base. Broadly speaking 2/3rds of our customers (SMEs, F50s, etc. across a broad array of industries) are using it wholly or migrating to it. 2) Several of the larger proprietary SCMs are debuting git compatibility (e.g. p4), implying a belief that expending engineering resources along those lines is perceived as worthwhile. 3) The stackoverflow dev survey that came out recently had git with ~69% of the market: http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015#tech-sourcecontrol http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015#tech... 4) GitHub (just part of the git market) has over 10M repos now: https://github.com/blog/1724-10-million-repositories https://github.com/blog/1724-10-million-repositories You can always hope for more data, up to the limit of every programmer on earth answering your question(s), but the trend in the available data is clear: git is extremely popular and becoming ever moreso.
