why? I had to stop using it because no one else would, and the various centralized services dropped support for it. but it handled branching and merging much better, was easier to pick up, and was less likely to trash your local checkout.

They have and it's called jujutsu :-) https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj OK, it's not a Mercurial clone, but it did take some features from it, and using it will feel more like Mercurial than git. And you can use it on git repositories, so you can have your cake and eat it too.
