I totally agree. Have been using Plastic for two years now (small teams, so I could use it for free) - and I have not seen it's equal. I used many version control systems (from VSS to ClearCase,CVS to SVN, StarTeam and of course - GIT) - None is as powerful and user friendly both as a developer and as a "version manager" (a.k.a. team leader/project manager/integrator). Why isn't it better known? I think the reasons are: - There is no "GitHub" - you have to install a server - Above 15 people you need to start paying - open source people cannot accept this limitation. Startups could but feel uncomfortable - Companies beyond startup stage are usually already entrenched with another source control. Even if they do replace - they want to go for something "safe" (which they equate with "popular" or "expensive")

Maybe it's just a matter of time, and Plastic SCM quality will get it a market share, but I am not sure...
