Honest question: why use mercurial?
Having alternatives is always good! And BTW, Git won not because it was better than mercurial...
Sure, at the very beginning of the launch of Git, Mercurial was better/had more features/more mature/etc.
That's just not true after 20 years of mainstream git adoption and development today.
Mercurial is also simpler than Git and the commands are more intuitive
