Our company use mercurial and we are very happy with it. Mercurial has evolved and it's UI is still better than git. We use it due to following reasons:
1. Very easy to use and very well documented with a book.[1]
2. Mercurial good python philosophy of "explicit is better than implicit". This means every merge also needs to explicitly committed preserving history. Our team likes it.
3. Better multi-platform support.
4. Easy to extend to fit specific workflow.
5. Just run hg serve and access a beautiful web interface to review code. No need of external tools. In this aspect though fossil-scm [2] is ahead of both git and mercurial.
