Speaking as someone that works with Mercurial on daily basis, and also makes/sells software that supports Mercurial. I can tell you it's far from beeing legacy.


Some people work with COBOL on a daily basis. It's still antiquated.


What determines if a technology is considered legacy is not if there exists someone out there using it, but rather whether there are people actively adopting it at present. In this regard, Mercurial has slowed down and Git has clearly won the game.


There are companies adopting mercurial as they VCS of choice, either by moving out of svn, or choosing a new VCS
