> The UX is almost the same as git,

I've used git and mercurial for roughly the same amount of time.

Your statement is, frankly, something that makes me question your sanity. They're not remotely similar. Outside of something like Perforce, I've not used a VCS with a worse UI.

I'm trying a new strategy where, whenever I'm tempted to Read The Comments, I try to remind myself of all the confidently stated nonsense (e.g., "[Mercurial's] UX is almost the same as git") that I would probably accept if I didn't know it was nonsense, and that I'd almost certainly be better off by just ... not reading the comments.

It doesn't seem to be working all that well, since, y'know, I'm here.

I’ve used both in parallel for 10 years or so. They are very similar, I find no problem switching back and forth
