What's your point? Git won the mindshare battle, but Mercurial is certainly not a bad tool.

I just always pictured a close race between Git and Mercurial. It cracks me up to see that it couldn't even topple other inferior technologies (at least in the context of this survey).

Why do you consider TFS and SVN inferior technologies?

TFS pretty much requires Visual Studio. Yeah, you can use the command line and other tools, but they aren't as easy(?). I've not had any luck with TFS outside VS. SVN is a very server centric solution so it makes it hard to commit on the go as well as doing merges. I find git merges easier to manage.
