I agree that GUI of Mercurial is not as polished yet as Tortoise SVN or
other svn clients, and DVCS in general is harder to use.
For personal and “solo” projects I still use svn.

But git and hg are known to better support
merge of diverged code lines. This is important for some.

And, having worked with all these, I won’t go back to P4, Seapine, or
heaven forbid, Clearcase.
