In any community, people should use the tool they like best and feel most productive with. However, let me just add that Facebook recently announced that they're switching from Subversion to Mercurial after evaluating the performance of Git. Their conclusion was that Git could not be improved as easily as Mercurial so they went ahead and made Mercurial fast for their infrastructure: https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/ Also, I would like to hear what graphical tools people use with Git that matches the cross-platform TortoiseHg tool? It is invaluable in showing the DAG and quickly browsing revisions: http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/screenshots.html (The screenshots are mostly from Windows, but I use it daily on Linux.) -- Martin Geisler
