Part of me wonders whether this is an instance of "The Magpie Developer"[0]. I know that I personally prefer git and bzr over cvs and svn, but just ten years ago, people were all talking about how Linux had just switched to BitKeeper. I also suspect that rather than having a bikeshed-esque argument about switching between one DVCS and another, we can come up with technical solutions to enable everyone to work together. For example, when I was interning at Facebook two years ago, git-svn was used extensively to let the rank-and-file employees work with git, while still allowing chuckr to deploy off of SVN. For mercurial and git, there are services like Kiln Harmony[1] and hg-git, too.
