Reading through some of the articles linked in the comments, I'm very hesitant to use something whose creator is so opinionated and vocally against another piece of software. Maybe its just the style of writing, and isn't actually reflected in Fossil's development, but this kind of attitude doesn't inspire confidence.

It's more that "why don't you use Github for sqlite" comes up six times a day, so at a certain point you have to explain why you use your own version control system. A lot of developers today know nothing other than Git and assume anything else is wrong by default.

Not only that, but they spam the Fossil forum with request to make Fossil more like Git, even if they don't personally use Fossil, because they seem to be unable to accept the fact that Fossil exists and drh has making the decisions that he thought best for the software.

The whole point of those articles is to compare and contrast.
