I am well familiar with git--I have been subjected to dealing with it on many unpleasant occasions. Git is as far from a joy to use as anything I can think of. A rather large number of scripts and other tools I've developed depend on hg out of convenience, and I have no interest in porting them to a tool that is not better for my use case where it is superior and considerably worse where it is inferior. As far as I'm concerned, git is a piece of software good in its niche--a niche that happens to be kernel development, not web-development-because-some-Ruby-people-thought-it-was-trendy--made popular via cargo-culting and it offers me nothing that Mercurial doesn't. Well, I should say that it offers nothing aside from needless complexity, substandard tools on Windows, and and poor user interface design. If Pagoda (or anyone else, for that matter) is going to perpetuate the cargo cult, I am going to decline to use it.

I can afford a Github subscription. It's not that much money. It's just completely worthless to me.
