Not using what most others are using has drawbacks, so some justification is needed.
This is only true in the open source world and then only in one corner of it. Subversion is still, by far, the most used version control system in the enterprise.
And why should someone have to argue why they aren't using git? If he loves Mercurial, great! He doesn't have to explain why he doesn't use every other version control system in existence.
- krosaen 15y agoGood question. I think git is so relevant to the mercurial argument since it is distributed, so if you are saying why you love mercurial, at least acknowledging git will strengthen your argument, as it is the most popular DCVS. Without that mention, readers might falsely think you are uninformed and haven't heard of or tried git.
