Maybe I'm the weird one, but Mercurial never made sense to me. I thought that Git's model made perfect sense.

I never tried BitKeeper, so I can't speak to that. But being proprietary seemed to doom it.

I also do not understand why people claim that mercurial is more beginner-friendly. Especially putting relatively basic features into optional modules is very confusing in the beginning.
