As someone who used Mercurial for many years when I worked at a company that used because they used BitBucket, you are overblowing the situation. The CTO was very vocal about how Mercurial was better, but all the use cases he toted weren't really that meaningful. Eventually when BitBucket removed Mercurial support we switched to git. I'd used git previously and hadn't really understood the advantages of hg, and after we switched to git there was no difference in productivity. Mercurial wasn't better, it's just slightly different enough to have a holy war over.
