hg was not superior to git at v1. I have no idea if it is now. hg was horrible at git style branches wich are arguably a killer feature of git. I've heard they were grafted in to hg but you can go look up old tutorials on the net from say 2008 and see they were clearly not the norm for hg

looked it up, the feature is called "bookmarks" and was added in 2010. And even after added, all tbe tutorials ignored them. no idea if they are the recommended workflow now but if not then you probably don't get why git is superior to hg
Bookmarks were a wonderful feature and I used them all the time for release workflow. It was basically like tags in docker.
Hg was indeed better than git, especially in the early days. But as git added features, made sane default choices more common, and cleaned up the CLI a bit, it doesn't matter now. They all do roughly the same thing, but the Hg workflow was still better imo because they just worked more intuitively coming from never using any DVCS before.
