To be fair, it's more our workflow than mercurial itself. You have pull requests and things like that with Mercurial (ala bitbucket). Phases, in Mercurial 2.1, look pretty neat as well.

The main things I miss in hg are:

1. a staging area

2. proper "topic branch" support for multiple heads. It's there with bookmarks, but it doesn't seem very well supported to have multiple heads, remote tracking branches, etc.

Those are the main reasons why I use git for anything I can. Well, that and the fact that most of the scientific python community seems to be using git...
