I am not a dev, just a user, however it looks like both Google and Facebook have at least some vested interest in hg continuing to work and getting better. With any luck we'll get a generation of folks are like hg.
I, myself, use hg-git a lot as I think hg provides a superior interface to git than git does, but that is a bit of a battle too. I've also started using https://hg.sr.ht/ for repos as the support is not amazing but a more pleasant experience than Bitbucket.
