Bazaar (and Mercurial) were the only usable DVCSs early on, but already
by 2006, O'Reilly had decided that Git was the winner and everything
else was history – they effectively created a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Git has over the years been bullied into being almost usable, Bazaar has
lost it's major supporter and Mercurial drifts on the edge of being
mainstream relevant. The USP of Git for me is remote tracking branches.
I forgive a lot of unusability in Git for that.

The interesting player in the game that is still around and really good,
but very few have heard of is Fossil.
