Currently, I think the impression they give is that you only use bzr if you're also using LaunchPad. That needs to change.
BTW, are there any other source code hosting sites that support bzr besides GNU Savannah and SF?
I think the reason hg doesn't have any decent GUIs while git has several has to do with their command line interfaces.
git is like the ugly girl/guy that's really good in bed. Some pretty lingerie or a nice suit can go a long way toward covering up flaws and letting you focus on their strengths.
hg is the gorgeous girl/guy next door who's also great in bed. Sure, they might look even better with some fancy clothes but we're all too busy staring at their naked body to bother going to a store to buy some.
It's only to be expected that vim would eschew the rampant fanboyism of other tools, and go with the best.
At least I hope it was a joke. If not, um, ha ha ha, I guess.
