About 3 years back I was having a discussion with my CTO and he was mentioning why he likes `hg` instead of `git` and that how he uses hg-git bridge to handle git repositories and all. But still he supported the git as the organization wide adopted SCM tooling. Reason being that when we have to choose a tooling which needs to be used by a lot of people in organization then we also need to consider about the learning curve and adoption of a tool. Git is already a default tooling and so many engineers are already familiar with it that choosing it came natural. Moreover, the SCM use-cases for us were mostly the regular standard one.
Over time, I have started to think in terms of innovation tokens [1]. You cannot choose all the new technologies all the time and you have to measure how many innovation tokens would you like to spend on what.
