Many years ago, when I was looking for a worthy DVCS successor to Subversion for my single-developer projects (just in case they became multiple-developer projects), I evaluated Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial. I don't really remember what were the deciding factors, but I ended up going with Mercurial. I'm sure usability was a big part of it, since that's a major value for me, and I really didn't like git in that department. I think I also read some things that made me distrust git's handling of data, but don't remember the specifics. git just seems messy in other ways as well. I still wonder to this day whether the wrong DVCS won the popularity contest and became an unfortunate default option for developers.
