One thing I love about Bazaar is the ease with which you can write plugins for
it, since it's Python and has a stable, documented API (an explicitly policy
of upstream guaranteed by tests).  I've written plugins that I use daily and
haven't had to touch in a couple of *years*.

I also think that Bazaar is easy enough to learn for both experienced and
inexperienced developers/dvcs users.  I can't think of a single contributor to
e.g. GNU Mailman or python-mode.el that has told me they won't contribute just
because it's not maintained in git.  I can usually get people started with
bzr, Launchpad, and merge proposals in an email that's not much longer than
this reply. :)
