Agreed. After getting used to that model for building up a particular commit, I wouldn't want to go back to the mercurial way. I used to use mercurial back in the day, before git took over the planet. Switching back to it would be slightly analogous to switching keyboard layouts at this point. Sure, qwerty is arbitrary and sort of stupid, but I've spent so much time using it that I've gotten used to where everything is.
