The last time we made the choice (4-5 years ago), Windows support for get, bzr, and hg was definitely lacking compared to svn. The lack of something like tortoisesvn for hg/git/bzr was a killer. It looks like the situation has improved since then, but I'd be curious to hear from people who do their development on Windows.
GUIs for Hg/Git are now much more usable. On Windows, OS X, and Linux my GUI/command line use split is about 80/20.
For Hg, TortoiseHg is quite good on Windows and Linux and so is SourceTree on OS X. I don't use Git as much but SourceTree works well on OS X.
SourceTree is in beta on Windows and doesn't yet support Hg there. http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
