BitKeeper solves the same problems as Git with a _far_ more sane user interface. My personal opinion is that it's best in class. The thing Git has going for it (over BitKeeper or really anything else) is GitHub. If we had something like BitHub that were widely used instead, I don't think I would bother with Git for anything except contributions to projects using it, despite being a fairly advanced Git user through necessity.
