Mercurial is so much easier for day to day usage, I work with both and need to explain so much more when getting a new person up to speed with git. The "detached head" state is very difficult to explain.

I don't really use a IDE, but my friends who do like Spyder. It would be nice to see a review of IDEs for scientific software development. The things I need are interactive console, visualization (matplotlib), and debugging.
