Well, the title is technically copy and pasted from the post and you could argue the same about most TechCruch and CodingHorror stuff... I am curious, however.

Well, the title is technically copy and pasted from the post and you could argue the same about most TechCruch and CodingHorror stuff... I am curious, however. I have a few opinions about things that I don't like in git myself (and the post links to a bunch of the author's own opinions about git), but I'm not familiar with hg. Can people who are familiar with it enlighten me as to what makes it good (or what about Mercurial is not mildly annoying compared to other vcs's)?
