Future of Mercurial?

[Malcolm Matalka]

I am not a dev, just a user, however it looks like both Google and
Facebook have at least some vested interest in hg continuing to work and
getting better.  With any luck we'll get a generation of folks are like
hg.

I, myself, use hg-git a lot as I think hg provides a superior interface
to git than git does, but that is a bit of a battle too.

I've also started using https://hg.sr.ht/ for repos as the support is
not amazing but a more pleasant experience than Bitbucket.

Since then, git has become fully supported on Windows and the UI has much improved. hg still has the edge for user-friendliness and cross-platform support, but git has almost 100% of the mindshare and market.

(I'm aware that hg is used in both, but this is a rare exception.) hg seems to be going very much in the direction of bzr, although we're clearly not there yet.
