Sourcehut is a really well-engineered and well-run project. The architecture is SCM-independent, so Mercurial is not disadvantaged.

The lead developer goes out of his way to support less-popular systems, such as *BSDs and Mercurial, so if you work with more niche technologies, you may find Sourcehut a good home for your projects.

Sourcehut is indeed well engineered and well run, and also very opinionated - which is actually great for most people.

However, if the opinions disagree with you -- e.g., if you need your builds to run on Windows, you ARE disadvantaged. Which is not a bad thing - I wholly support Drew's machine and opinions - but that's one of the reason I can't promote it at $MY_DAY_JOB, where I can't drop the Windows requirement.
