No, I don't think so. Perhaps Windows support on Bzr is not good, but
at least you don't need to be afraid of being insulted when you have
to report a bug.

I agree Bzr's Windows support could be better, but at least there are
regular updates and some attempt at fixing bugs.

config, tag, remote, stash, reflog...
But the complain is not about the number of commands. It's about the
miriad options. "git help log" is a good example. Every time I have to
use one of the non-obvious command options and I have to check the
documentation I have a sudden urge of shooting someone.

Terseness is sometimes an advantage, sometimes no. A..B versus A...B. nuff said.
