The best doesn’t always win. Sometimes good enough plus an early lead is all it takes. Git did what it needed and through large exposure to open source developers via the kernel community it took off and nothing else ever caught it. I like it myself. Others prefer HG or even SVN. But unlike choosing a text editor, network effects are very important for source control. It doesn’t surprise me too much that the majority of people would centralize on the same tool.
