It's great to have others way in on the code in question, teams can also review the quality of the code and it helps everyone on the team write better code.

It's simple, while powerful. I tried git, it's too complex. I don't like complex things, keep simple, focus on own work, and do it the best. I believe mercurial have done her work good. Maybe because the feature set I'm using is limited. I should explore...

No Github. Github needs GIT or SVN. You can install a plugin to interact with GIT, but is was easier to just learn GIT last time I tried.
