I think it is enough, because a few years ago hg had bigger mindhare. Four years ago I talked about DCVS at a local PHP conference and the three systems I reviewed were Mercurial, Git and Bazaar. Mercurial was more polished and leading in mindshare at the time, but I bet on git, and turns out it was the right bet. Don't hear much of the Bazaar despite few really big projects using it.
