If you need to work with several different VCSes, VC is a better alternative, as it strives to present a unified UI for all the VCSes it supports, from the now ancient RCS, via CVS and Subversion, all the way to Git and Mercurial. > Magit is instantly intuitive and all interactive.

Magit has a very different, unique UI that could be more convenient to some/many people who want to use only Git. Which is why we want it to be part of the Emacs core.
