I thought it was just me. Anything more than the basic commands and I get confused and have to look it up. Git is certainly popular -perhaps for many it's the first version control system they've used-and is very fast, but would you say it's well designed from a user perspective?

No, git is a UI disaster. Some of the complexity is necessary due to moving to a distributed model of version control, but most of it is lack of clarity in designing the CLI.

Is anyone who's used Mercurial able to comment on the UI differences?
