Why?

Single binary. Cross platform. Runs with it's own server with web interface. Has issue tracking, wiki, chat.

Happy user of fossil since over 10 years now, both in individual projects and teams' projects.

For me, unlike git, fossil just gets out of the way and let's me focus on delivering. Doesn't have a whole bunch of arcane commands.

That's not a Git web interface, that's a completely different source control system altogether!

And from a quick bit of web searching, it looks like most IDE's out there either lack a plugin for fossil, or else have a plugin that's outdated and doesn't keep up with the current version of the IDE.

I realize that all of these "I Like X!" silly HN threads invite a lot of "I Like Y!" silly replies, but there sure are a lot of caveats on "better" here. You could make a much stronger case for recommending Subversion or CVS, lol.

yes, thank you.But light and self Hosted version control,I have to recommand fossil.Git is not gods,we can blame it and recommand other more better software for special case.

How is it better?
