I used Mercurial before switching to git. The positive difference from switching was how branches worked. I don’t know the technical details but branches on git felt “lighter” to use and maintain than with Mercurial.

Mercurial introduced bookmarks,it was something similar to git branches. But it was already too late, GitHub and Linus' weight did the rest.
