There are too many things that I personally can do with git but can't do with hg. Because of that I switched all my development from hg to git and I am willing to help those who want to follow.

Slightly off-topic, but personally I'd love to know what those are. I've yet to find anything in Git that I haven't been able to do at least as well with Mercurial (or an extension), and there are things Mercurial supports that I use extensively (in particular named branches and phases) where the concept doesn't even exist in Git. I switched all of my development to Mercurial, and use hg-git and hgsubversion when I need to interact with those systems.

...speed??

Seriously; just try pulling the entire CPython repo. Then try again with the GitHub mirror.

I love Mercurial's CLI. But, every time I use it, I end up feeling like I'm waiting forever.

Git's CLI is really weird, but it's surprisingly powerful and flexible once you get the hang of it (which admittedly might take a while!).
