Why we didn't migrate to Mercurial (long)

[Todd Greer]

Where I work, most developers that work on Windows use thg, and seem to like it. Any workflow that calls for command-line usage is met with some resistance, though the fact that you can enter commands in the log window is one of the best features ever. We have another group that is used to using Eclipse-integrated svn, and is moving to Eclipse-integrated hg as soon as some bug gets resolved. They haven't tried thg. Our Mac developers had a poor experience when they tried it, but it may have improved since then.

We're about to adopt the guest-repo extension, and one of the concerns we had to overcome is its lack of support in thg, which speaks well of our opinion of thg.

Angel,

I'll canvas what I can and forward the information to you. Be aware that we have very different users and one might say "X is the worst thing", another might say "X is the best thing".
