Winners are not about who's best. Git is not better than hg, Koalas are not better than giant sloth, Windows is not better than linux. So? All major hosted scm dropped hg support. What op tries to do seems emphatically Quijote-ish

Isn't the English word Quixotic?

Best is a subjective term. When Windows won the desktop it was the best at running MS Office. I don't know enough about hg to say how git is better, but I'm sure there are areas where git excels. From what I've read hg has a better cli, but that alone may not be enough to be the 'best'.

  I maintain that GitHub itself is actually an important reason that Git won out.
