What specifically did you run into as a stumbling block?
My use of Bazaar so far has been light and superficial - setting up a
repository, checking it out elsewhere, and a few edit/commit cycles. But
so far the operations have been straight forward and intuitive. (Once I
upgraded the version shipped with Debian Lenny, which seems prone to
segfaults. Conveniently there is an Ubuntu PPA with versions that work
on Lenny.)
Git makes a clean break in operating model from local storage sccs
derived model that almost everything else is derived of.
The high level architecture for Bazaar is pretty much the same. (Local
repository, loose synchronization with a central repository, cheap
branching, etc.) It just doesn't obscure the system by imposing a
particular workflow that requires a conceptual staging area (index).
Unless I'm missing something, you can get the same functionality that
git provides from Bazaar.
The bigger question is whether one of the newer "porcelian" front-ends
to git will address the UI issues, and that combined with it being
heavily hyped will result in competing tools like Bazaar dying off in
obscurity.
