What’s the actual argument here? If Mercurial satisfies/satisfied the development team, then they should use it. I don’t find this crazy. Like others pointed out, it’s not like Mercurial was a dead project without maintenance.
No developer is an island. By using an extremely unpopular VSC they increase the barrier to contribution for all external developers, miss out on support in tools and projects that only support Git, and they don’t get to benefit from the increased development effort that goes into more popular solutions.
