Anyone who has ever used Mercurial knows very well what a good versioning tool UX looks like...

No. When I left a job using Mercurial, I made a vow never to start a job that used it again. And that employer was seeking to move on from it.

So true. I used Mercurial back in the day and also used Darcs before it, and it helped me realize that the best versioning tool UX that exists is still the one Git provides.

PS: Also CVS, SVN, Perforce, and Clear Case professionally, and gave a try to Fossil. None of them even close to Git usability-wise.

good because clones take forever so you get free time? Good because you need plugins/extension/special-config to support rebase?
