Let's put it this way: If Bazaar were the _only_ way I could follow Emacs development and contribute back code, I'd simply stop doing so and pay attention only to releases from now on. Bazaar is nasty to use, especially when I have hundreds of Git repositories on my machine and exactly one Bazaar repository. I don't like it, and there's not a good Emacs interface for it (I tried DVC and did not like the experience at all); while Git has some very beautiful GUIs, Magit, and lots and lots of community-built tools written around Git that make my day-day operations much easier.
