For all the reasons mentionned in this thread (interface consistency, performance, ...) hg is far superior to git. But, as long as git would get the cool tools - namely, gitlab / gitlab-ci - people won't bother looking at hg. I started a new project with collaborators a month ago, we had to chose git mainly because of gitlab, as it would ease the process of managing consistently our codebase in a visual and simple way, not to mention the continuous integration goodness that comes with gitlab-ci. There is, to my knowledge, no close equivalent for hg.
