Hg is fine, and it saddens me to know it doesn't see more adoption because there isn't a big nerd behind it. Git has some important factors in its favor, though:
1. In my experience, it's more robust. I had Hg throw Exceptions doing menial tasks.
2. It's more popular, there's more infra-structure available. GitHub is a big factor until we get more competition on this area.
3. Since most commands are just scripts that call lower-level tools, it's potentially more flexible. It's possible to derive new functionality without hacking too much the VCS source. That could include a saner command line.
