I dread every time I have to use hg (and when I can use the git bindings for it).
And I was using hg before I was using git.
git has a terrible UI, granted, but I find the hg UI pretty terrible too.
I really hate their approach to branching (tho that is remedied these days with e.g. bookmarks to some extent).
Speaking of data model, I find gits model to be a lot saner. I REALLY hate that hg spams my disk with tons and tons of files within the .hg directory. Ever cloned e.g. the mozilla hg repos? ugh. Bonus points for their fancy name escaping mechanism in those files, which had me run into "path too long" issues on windows boxes a couple of times already.
