Because it's impossible to be "one of the best" for all usecases.

• jhasse 8y ago
  It's definitely hard, but why should it be impossible? I don't see the fundamental difference between Git and Hg.

    Git and Hg is similar, but that is not all there is to the DVCS space. Fossil target a different use case. Darcs have an entirely different underlying structure, which enables different abilities, especially during merging. I find it hard to believe that a single tool can be the best for * Huge monorepos and thousands of developers * Repos with huge binary files * Repos with few developers * Personal repos. * CD repos * Interconnected repos Even if two different repository technologies are more or less equivalent, some things might be too cumbersome in one but not the other.

    Hg actually cared about the user interface. Git didn't.
