Mercurial a fair bit (the W3C seems to like it), and I *strongly*
prefer git. Major problems I have with Mercurial:
1) It doesn't support lots of useful functionality that's built into
git unless you enable various extensions. This includes colored
diffs, automatic paging for large output, and rebasing.
Having the functionalities in core or in an extension doesn't seem too
important. There are some extensions that I'd bundle with mercurial,
too. But as far as people is correctly pointed to it, that's not a big
problem.
The main problem with DCVS is that each seem to do things slightly
different, so at the end you end up being confortable with one or other
just due to having used it more than the other.
