Why should I have to assemble my DVCS from parts before I would be able to use it? If I wanted Lego I would have got one.

Shelf isn't shipped with mercurial and it's really really painful without it: you make some changes to some wrong branch and now you need either shelf or major pain with rebase.

If non-expert users don't understand enough to do rebase, they're screwed: they better go cry in a corner since you can't solve any non-trivial scenarios without rebase and you're going to run into those all the time.

Not that I like git, but still. And since Eclipse plugin for SVN merges much better than both git and hg, I often wonder why do we bother at all :(
