Recently I posted in Twitter that my favorite DVCS is bzr. Immediately Manish asked me why not git or hg. Here is the answer:

git

I love GitHub. I use git regularly. But when compared to bzr, I love bzr more. Why? I find git’s SHA based version numbering cryptic. The default installation of git does not support command shortcuts (like st for status, ci for commit) which I am used to from my svn days (fact: this can be manually set using git alias).

hg

This choice does not have any rational backing! I did not like odd-sounding hg in the command prompt. bzr sounded more natural to me.
