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.
Example: compare the number of commercial tools for working with Git, compared to those available for working with Mercurial. On OS X along I can use: SourceTree, Tower, GitHub, GitBox, GitDiary, QuickHub, Octopus, and that's only the commercial tools! By contrast, if I search for "mercurial" in the AppStore, I can only use SourceTree (which works with both). -- John Wiegley BoostPro Computing, Inc. http://www.boostpro.com
