Mercurial popularity is stagnant

[cowwoc]

Till,

There is a price to pay for a stagnant popularity. The specific example 
I brought up is the lack of a good Mercurial repository management 
platforms (self-hosted, cloud-hosted, social networking, etc).

Take a look at http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/q/3506 versus 
http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/q/867

The available options for Mercurial are substantially worse than for 
Git. Whether you're an enterprise customer or an OSS developer, the 
existing solutions are quite poor.
