Actually I didn't know that it was developed by Ubuntu people, all I know is
that Ubuntu uses bzr everywhere. After using cvs, svn, arch, bzr, darcs, git
and other weird things I prefer git - although it has a steep learning curve,
it is much more intuitive to use at the end, comes with a *lot* more features
and is much faster than all other tools. From the idea how a distributed
revision control system should work darcs is still my favourite -
unfortunately I had way too much trouble with bugs when using it and it is
missing a lot of features compared with git, so I don't use it anymore.
My opinion based on the daily use von the tools is really subjective as all
tools do the job they should do most of the time, but using git is just less
pain at the end - although I have to admit that it scared me a bit at the
beginning.
