The article seems pretty clear on that.

"When we made the decision that we were going to take the DVCS plunge, we looked at many options. Should we build something? Buy something? Adopt OSS? We looked at Git, Mercurial and others. It didn’t take long to realize that Git was quickly taking over the DVCS space and, in fact, is virtually synonymous with DVCS."

It's worrying that Git is becoming the OSS "monopoly" in the DVCS space.

For me, this is primarily a reflection of the quality of service and community on Github rather than any quality intrinsic to git. I prefer mercurial to git, but find myself using git significantly more as virtually every dependancy in the apps I build lives on github.

I do think however that there are lots of teams, particularly in enterprise, that are quietly and happily using mercurial.
