This comic actually explains it quite well. Some of us like Git
because it has a simple and elegant core, and we perceive the
particular UI surrounding that core as mildly annoying but
inconsequential in the long run.
Mercurial’s and Bazaar’s cores, on the other hand, are much more
complicated, and user-friendly UI (if any) is not sufficient to redeem
them.
