Fossil
Does Fossil have a unique or killer feature that makes it a good alternative to git, other than "simpler to use"?<p>I don't like the monoculture either, but at this point <i>some</i> knowledge of git is an essential skill. In fact pretty much the only chance you have of avoiding git would be to build your own stuff on something else, hire/collaborate only with others who share the same view, and never interact with basically any other open source.<p>So given some git knowledge is necessary anyway, there are alternatives interfaces to git that solve the simplicity problem, and any other tool is going to have friction (small ecosystem, few integrations, smaller community), why use something else? (I mean this genuinely)<p>I just don't see the dominance of git changing for the next decade, especially if there's no answer to my first question (for whatever aims to replace it). It's not even like there's git lock-in: it <i>could</i> be replaced, just like SVN was. It's just it doesn't seem like there's compelling reason to, and thus no desire.
