I’m pumped a search for hg+mercurial had hits in this thread. I am and will continue to be completely blown that hg lost the dvcs wars. It’s a better tool.

It's the slower tool.

That was relevant to Linus in the early 2000s, but then, we didn't have NVMe SSDs.

I don’t mind if it is slightly slower, if that is even true anymore.

Turns out while hg clone, pull, or whatever is running, I can do other things!

It is still noticeably slower on a large codebase.
