This is not about workflow (though I do prefer hg's model of multiple types of branch-like constructs). This is about the command-line interface used to interact with it. Where git overloads commands (the same command can do vastly different things depending on options or context), or cannot make up its mind whether to implement functionality through top-level commands or flags to existing commands, hg is much more consistent in having a set of commands whose names match the operations they perform and are not overloaded with multiple contextual meanings.
