Git and HG were released within a month of eachother, have very similar feature sets, and didn't really influence eachother during development. Github is exclusively for Git, and Bitbucket is exclusively for Mercurial because you can't really mix them at all. It's a matter of taste, not a matter of "fixed issues." They're different programs built at the same time to accomplish the same goals. I don't use SCM often. IMHO, SCM should just work. HG is simplier than Git (not only IMHO). So, it's a Git issue (for me) not to be as simple as HG. Another thing in Mercurial's favor is that it's not made and maintained by people who couldn't care less about Windows. In my experience, that hasn't made any difference. The Mercurial folks recommend TortoiseHG, and there's also TortoiseGit with the same feature set. I use Eclipse with DDT for most of my development, and there's MercurialEclipse and EGit.
If I recall correctly TortoiseGit didn't work that well when I used it. -- /Jacob Carlborg
