I have been using mercurial for more than a decade now. I just install hg-git, work on my local mercurial repo, push & pull to git, without any friction with anyone in my team. Mercurial simply stayed my secret tool for version control, without anyone noticing. - the command line is unsurprising and coherent - the UX in the terminal is nice (with tweakdefaults=true, you have colored word diffs, and nice curses interface for commit, uncommit, amend, --interactive) - integrated web ui via "hg serve" - compatible with git. There are margin for improvement here: hg-git can do everything but you have to be an advanced user. - advanced workflows are not only possible, but easier and safer, due to non destructive history editing - TortoiseHg is a honest GUI. Most advanced workflows are even easier there. Works on windows, so it's a good way of introducing less advanced users to version control.
