It's the sort of next step in the blub problem. People are coming from a world where they see svn as being so much better than cvs (and source safe and what-not), but the only thing close to it in its class is p4, and they have to pay a lot for that, so it doesn't count. Then someone convinces them that there's a better class of things and they want to give it a shot. git users talk about the power and wonders of git. hg users talk about how much easier it is to use than git. bzr jumps up and down slowly and says, "me too!" In this sense, DVCSs are each other's enemies preventing our own adoption. I've used hg a lot and I've been using git almost exclusively for a couple of years. A project whose source is in git is more likely to get contributions from me because it's just easier for me. Projects that use hg will get a contribution if it's a big enough pain because it means more work for me.
