Even GitHub dude Scott Chacon (who does training on Git for GitHub and who wrote the book Pro Git) says in this podcast some aspects of Mercurial are better thought-out than Git: http://thechangelog.com/post/3445186374/episode-0-4-9-git-showoff-and-xbox-kinect-with-scott-cha http://thechangelog.com/post/3445186374/episode-0-4-9-git-sh... I agree with Scott's assessment: it's really not that huge a deal if your using Git or Mercurial; they're very similar--it's using a distributed version control system that's a huge deal. Many many places are still locked into old school, centralized systems that make collaboration much harder than it is using Mercurial or Git.
