The community around git completely overshadows any other DCVS. This is not propaganda but a fact. Popularity is the winning decision factor. Can you convince us why not?
The alleged fact is probably a fact only iff you mean the Linux (kernel) community. Besides, why is the popularity important considering that both version control systems are comparable?
More attention from the community, more support, more tools work with it, more money behind it, more people will be familiar with it in the long run, etc., etc.
So, this is the reason why Git developers treat Windows as a second class citizen, i.e., there's no official Windows support? Also, the last time I checked, TortoiseGit looked like a major hack compared to TortoiseHg.
