Well, I am a longtime hg user, and my experience is just the opposite.  I 
find git terribly complex.  Everytime I try to do something that should be 
simple, I refer to manpages that go on endlessly about options, written in a 
language I know nothing about.  In contrast, hg I find much simpler, and 
with tortoisehg interface, it's almost fun.

Obviously I'm in the minority here, and I'm not doing much contributing 
anyway.  But just saying, there is another side to this.
