I believe that Mercurial&#x27;s greatest flaw is that it is too damn easy to use. Since you don&#x27;t have to wrap your head around it so damn much to use it, it seems weak, like if it was only slightly better than subversion.<p>The truth is different and Mercurial is roughly as capable as git but it&#x27;s easy to miss Mercurial&#x27;s power where as Git rubs your face in it (less so these days but early on, it was a brain f<i></i>* to my CVS trained brain.)
