Use daily for managing main company codebase

Mercurial has all the features of a good distributed revision control system. Not only is it incredibly useful as a collaboration tool, I find the ability to track changes and rollback to a specific revision invaluable for working by myself too. Mercurial lets you easily see, down to each line of code, when it was first introduced and why, and tools like hg bisect make tracking down bugs much faster. There are many good graphical frontends such as TortoiseHg and SourceTree that make using Mercurial easier, as well as integration with most popular IDEs such as Visual Studio, Eclipse and IntelliJ.

Neat tool for control version

- Easy to use - Works as it should :D - Widely supported (Although not as much as git) - Good Desktop UIs available (TortoiseHg, etc) - Good Web UIs available (Bitbucket, etc)

Useable git alternative.

I liked it's ease of use best. If you often find yourself wondering about how to do things with git, mercurial is for you. It offers much less functionality - and that is a good thing.

What is Mercurial Open Source Project?

Mercurial is a fast, scalable distributed version control system (DVCS) designed to efficiently handle projects of any size while providing an easy-to-use and robust interface for tracking the evolution of source code, managing multiple branches, and merging divergent repositories. Distinguished by its performance and flexibility, Mercurial is built for developers who need a dependable tool to manage complex development projects. The tool features a distributed architecture, which means that every developer has a full and self-contained repository on their local machine, facilitating offline work and decentralized collaboration.Mercurial supports an extensible framework for enhancements and can integrate with numerous other development tools. It's known for its straightforward CLI commands and an easy learning curve for new users, making it accessible for both small and large teams. The project's website, https://mercurial.selenic.com/, serves as a central hub for downloading the software, accessing documentation, joining the user community, and following development updates. The site also provides resources to help both beginners and experienced users make the most of Mercurial’s features.
