I should write a whole article about this.

Hg is a superior tool compared to git. It logically just clicks, for everyone. Changesets, branching, merging, tagging, it all just works.

Git is this arcane blob of whatever-you-call-it where rewriting/erasing history is not only allowed, its encouraged. That is insane to me.

Git is a fine tool, it is in every possible way inferior to hg.
