Mercurial is really nice. I find its CLI interface much less confusing than Git's. I think a lot of this has to do with Git's "index" where you have to "add" files and then "commit" them. This seems like the #1 source of confusion when people are learning Git and persists into operations like "rebase" and "cherry-pick" where the index is used for marking conflicts as resolved or not.

I personally always liked the flexibility the stage offers.

  Oh, I agree. It definitely has advantages once you get the hang of it! It might be nice if it was optional though so newbies could ignore it entirely.
