Are you talking about Git or Hg now?
The main problem with Hg is the same problem I have with GCC, Cygwin, etc -- it's a Linux tool built for Linux-based projects, with a fanatic Linux-based fanbase that won't care much about Windows support, stability and performance..So true... I'm sick of those fanatics, though recently I see a decrease of their count, and a fresh view on FOSS world by people (here in Russia).
