I don't understand why so many people seem to dislike git. But maybe in actuality it is not many people, as usually people who are discontent are the loudest.

I used Mercurial in the past for a bit, and it was fine. But for me it doesn't seem to have any huge advantages over git, if any. And after so many years of experience using git, I know what workflows work well, how to resolve merge conflicts, how to revert to an old commit if something really gets messed up, etcetera.

I don't see any other DVCS really being able to replace git in the short run and I wouldn't be surprised if git will stay number 1 for the following decennia, as in my opinion it's really great software. A DVCS really has to provide substantial benefits over git in order to replace git as the number 1 DVCS.
