I think mercurial lost the mindshare battle unfortunately, and git is
getting further ahead at an accelerating pace.  And for kernel
development especially, being able to merge from a git tree directly
with Linus is really convenient.

If you don't like the core git UI ("porcelain") then there are plenty
of others to choose from -- cogito and StGit are notable examples.  I
use StGit myself and it's really ideal for my workflow.
