But for me that question is central: I want others to be able to work with my
stuff as easily as possible (and I also want to be able to go back and work on
it after not having used the system for a few weeks/months - I often jump from
personal project to personal project).

My opinion is that there's quite a neat sweet spot between the two extremes -
and that Mercurial quite nicely hits that sweet spot :)

Same in projects with both serious programmers and casual programmers.
But anyway, it's now clear where our different opinion comes from - root cause
found, I think :)
And that's a very positive result, I'd say.
The question "what's your target audience?" now more easily leads to a choice
of VCS which we could both agree on.
Best wishes,
