The reason (personally) why I do not want Mercurial to become the Emacs VCS is
for the same reason I don't like bzr: Because it's not used by a *single*
project whose VCS I track or contribute to. I don't know the UI, and have
never had any reason to know the UI. I'm not even sure I have Mercurial
installed!
Meanwhile, the number of Git repositories on my machine today: 457.
I think it's pretty clear that Git has emerged as the "winning" technology, in
terms of mind-share, adoption, excitement, etc. I run into new Git projects
constantly. Several prominent Haskell projects (such as bytestring) just
switched from Darcs to Git in order to attract contributors. Whereas I
encounter Mercurial and Bazaar, well, never. Darcs a few times, due to the
Haskell community, but only ever there.
