Sure, at the very beginning of the launch of Git, Mercurial was better/had more features/more mature/etc.

That's just not true after 20 years of mainstream git adoption and development today.

Mercurial is also simpler than Git and the commands are more intuitive

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Neither of those observations, even if true, are an incentive for someone to migrate away from git.
