I was a very long time user of mercurial since it's early inceptions. It helped me really visualize the work as a set of patches. It has history rewrite feature on local, but it doesn't allow to force push the rewritten history/branch. We had to do lots of work arounds, processes, etc to cover for the lack of. After switching to git, it felt complete. Yes, git UI is horrible and has the drawbacks of the snapshot model. But it is perfect for a team setting. This is why GitHub won and in turn git.
