@andrewt i never need any mercurial documentation because its command line interface is not insane. there are no decent GUIs for mercurial, which is why git won out in the first place - the aforementioned bonkers command-line caused a proliferation of GUIs. i used to use GUIs about 20 years ago but found that i work so much in terminals that it makes no sense to even reach for the mouse.

@lritter Yeah, sounds like we have kinda different use cases — I tend not to touch the terminal unless I need to. A CLI VC system is ok if I'm writing like a Node or Python app where I'm in and out of the terminal all day, but if I'm noodling about in Godot or something, I'm firmly in GUI-land
