Since (the other) Martin mentioned it, VHS is unfortunately the one that took over the world. Don't get me wrong, I had a Beta VCR when I was a kid and was even more vocal about Mercurial adoption in favour of Git. But that was almost 10 years ago. Nowadays, it's the tools that make the process fluent. Whether Mercurial has technical benefits or not, Git is everywhere. I'm pretty sure (even if I don't know it for a fact) that today's kids learn Git at school and probably think Mercurial comes from a Biology class, not Computer Programming. Anyways, back to the tools - SmartGit (well, it also has support for Hg but that is being phased out soon) and VS Code, for example, make it quite convenient and painless to use Git as underlying source repository. Pull requests and everything else, made popular by GitHub, is today a standard. Because they made it convenient. Having said that, I'm also on GitLab side and create all my new repositories there. Nowadays it is about CI integration, not even the repositories any more. I'm not pushing for anything here but just wanted to share my 2 Euro Cents, for what it's worth. Especially since I touched upon this topic in another post so there's no need to continue there (neither probably here). Cheers!
