I can’t speak for all “the people”, but I disagree strongly. There are fine reasons for picking things other than git (I’ve used fossil since it’s near-inception); git’s dominance or fossil’s loss in the market does not make gits UI/UX superior. Thats like saying McDonalds is the height of cuisine, because “Billions and Billions Served”.

Actually, it's like saying that those billions are comprised of a hefty number of people who tried both and the vast majority determined that overall git is an unquestionably superior tool due to a combination of the tool itself and it's ecosystem.

Git is the dominant DSCM; it’s well represented. Why be so defensive if some minority likes hg semantics?
