My journey was CVS->SVN->darcs->Hg->git. I can thoroughly recommend at least playing around with the others to see what you're missing. Darcs in particular I remember as having a much nicer model than either git or mercurial, but it had a horrible corner case behaviour. Pijul is supposed to fix that, but I haven't tried it yet.

What motivated you to move from Mercurial? I'm still using HG for personal projects because it's so easy to self-host on a Raspberry Pi. Just `hg serve -p 8001` or whatever and I'm able to use TortoiseHG from any machine to easily stage commits.
