hg has a very elegant underlying data model, which you wind up not having to care about at all (a nice property of a good abstraction), unlike git. :) I use hg for almost all my own software development, and it's a great pleasure. I've also used hg professionally in both development and support modes, and if/when I ever get around to starting my own software business, hg or other "safe by default" system will be enforced with an iron fist. It's quite a lot better than git.
