Personally (as a member of the Mercurial crew at the time) I believe GitHub has been a key part of Git winning. It provided a great UX for sharing code that Bitbucket despite valiant efforts of Jesper et al could just not match.
I do think the time is just about right for someone to start a new generation that has compatibility with Git but provides a better user experience. Also in this category, see the Breezy effort that some old-time Bazaar hackers have started:

- gmueckl 9y agoConsidering how the hype cycle proceeds, any switch to a git successor will probably be slow. I would expect a replacement that comes into existence now to need five years to make itself known in the market and another five years to gather a critical mass. The actual tipping point would probably be reached around 15 to 20 years from now. That is an awfully long time.
