I realised, that Git now has the same problem as Windows:
Its widespread because its widespread.

There are, especially for smaller projects, few reasons to actually use Git instead any other VCS.

Look at the landscape of free repo hosting.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of free Git hosters.
A handful of free Mercurial hosters,
Launchpad for Bazaar and I didn't even find a free SVN hoster.

Everyone uses Git, because there are Services for it, and there are Services for it, because everyone uses it.

    There is git because it has better features than CVS and SVN, never used Mercurial but I heard git is superior over it.

    @Codex404 it has more features and is therefor more complicated. If you have a relatively small team git offeres nothing svn does not have, but it is harder to learn.
    imo git is the best vcs if it comes to open source, but for everything else it really does not matter which one you use

    I think that Git actually sucks a lot if you aren't on a big project with many devs distributed over the whole world. For smaller projects, it's a whole bunch of sucky YAGNI that just comes into my way. I'm glad that we're using SVN at work.
