Back in the day, once I’d understood the value of decentralized revision control, I was convinced Mercurial would prevail, and that Git would become a footnote in history. This is one moment in my past that was formative in helping me make good tech predictions. Namely, if I see a technology that I think is better, and I think it will win out over an inferior technology, I simply reverse my prediction and enjoy being correct. Coming from Subversion, Mercurial made so much more sense than Git. I still think the CLI is more consistent. I keep hoping for a new shakeup in revision control systems, though I suspect such a change will be a long time coming.
