I am a casual user of Fossil. I tried it out for some of my smaller projects. I can't say I am at the point where I "get" it, but I'd definitely recommend at least trying it out, as it provides a contrasting perspective to source control (from git). The integrated Wiki and ticketing system can be very helpful. The built-in web interface is definitely convenient. Also, the codebase is written in very clean C code (it's written by the SQLite devs, so I expect no less from them). It is very easy to compile from source. Also, the documentation they have is quite nice. I definitely struggle with parts of Fossil. Fossil does not make it easy to revise commits (this is an intentional design). I one time made a commit on a badly time-skewed machine and it took me all day to look up how to correct that (but I found it in their documentation). I'm also still getting the hang of how branching works in Fossil. It is very hard to have a massive amount of contributors to code. Again, this is another intentional design choice. It's certainly not a VCS for all projects. But for certain kinds of projects, it really works well.
