finally started using Mercurial with MacHg and Bitbucket last week. Haven't had to do anything complicated with it yet, but so far, so good.

I use mercurial also(switched from GIT). And nowdays you can setup unlimited private repos in Bitbucket with the free account its even better to use mercurial. In my books being python based is a good thing. Or is it something "Ruby vs. Python" thing why you dont like it being written in python?
