PyPy still uses Mercurial.

Honestly Mercurial is a very good solution and viable alternative to Git. Just that the web-based platforms like github spent more effort on git, and now its near unbiquitous.

Mozilla is still on Mercurial.

I remember choosing Mercurial instead of Git for my own projects many years ago. At the time it had a better CLI and was easier to use than Git and was good enough for my use. Git ultimately won because it had much better performance, but its CLI is still difficult to use at times. Some competition in this space would be good.

Won't ever be good as long as it uses/requires Python.
