At work we have non-devs (mostly scientists) using our repos, and I didn't want to have to teach them git. Mercurial is much easier to pick up IME. With the right plugins enabled, there's not much I miss day to day compared with git. At home I still use git. In part because of github, in part because I like some of the default behaviour better, and in part because being forced to learn how it works to dig my way out of holes broadens my understanding of DVCSs in general.
