Imho Mercurial is much easier than Git. I have seen team members who lost data with Git but never with Mercurial.

I still miss Mercurial. Unfortunately most people moved to Git so I also moved to it.

Quite some years ago we switched from git to Mercurial and the amount of VSC mentoring and unfucking the "VCS guys" had do became almost zero. People seriously just got it. Some argued that is was because they had to learn with git, but... since then we've made the switch back to git for other reasons and we've back at wrangling with the tool again. I'd much much rather use Mercurial with Evolve extension - that is really good.

There is work being done[1] to make Mercurial work on git repositories.
