Well, I think it became popular, because it had been and still IS lean,
simple to use/administrate and matches the demands of most projects.
This doesn't necessarily apply to many other so-called "more advanced"
SCMs. Some have portability issues, some are arkward to
install/administrate, some have usability issues, some are immature,
etc. ..., and what most of these deny, .... many projects don't actually
need the "advanced features" these SCM's promise to provide.

Right, but ... we will see if autoconf won't regret this move to git.
IMO, this step at this point in time was premature.
