Interesting look at Mercurial vs. other VCS

A friend showed me this site, Hammer Principle (http://hammerprinciple.com/)
today, which lets visitors rank items of a certain category (gins and web
browsers are two more examples) on a varaiety of metrics.  It's not
perfect, notably there's no way to specify *by how much* one item beats
another, but even so, the analysis is interesting.  Nothing terribly
shocking to report about people's thoughts on Mercurial, but I thought it
was still cool to see.

How Mercurial stands up against the competition:

Mercurial vs. Git:
http://hammerprinciple.com/versioncontrol/items/mercurial/git (86% think Hg
is easier to learn than Git, nice statistic)
Mercurial vs. SVN:

And, if you want to add your own voice to the mix:

Enjoy!
