You switched from using "was" in your first paragraph to "is" in your second. There are certainly more competitors to Git today than there were then.

- isxek 10y agoAre there really more? Some similar projects like Monotone and Bazaar are no longer being actively/regularly developed IIRC, and the number of hosting services for something as well-known as Mercurial has been dwindling.
- merijnv 10y agoBecause, I'm guessing, a lot of people using Mercurial (like me) are just using GitHub. Mercurial has had a functional bidirectional git-mercurial bridge extension for over half a decade and I've never ran into issues with it. The result is that I happily keep using Mercurial locally even when collaborating with people using Git. I don't see the need to have Mercurial specific hosting. (Well, until Bitbucket finally starts working with obsolence markers so I can use Changeset Evolution).
