alt Hacker Newsgit is actually a case-study in "Worse Is Better". hg beats it in every way, except pure speed. Of course, git is still way better than svn, tho.

The way Git took over wasn't Git vs Mercurial (although that was a small part of it), but much more Git vs SVN, CVS, and people that never used source control before. It's similar to how Chrome became the dominant browser over Firefox. It was much more converts from Internet Explorer and Safari than advanced users that were already on Firefox.
