 * Cheap local branching
Available in Mercurial with the LocalbranchExtension.

 * Git is fast
Probably true on Linux, not so on Windows. The speed is acceptable
for most operations, but it is slower than Mercurial.

 * Staging area
Could actually be seen as a drawback since it adds extra complexity.
Depending on your workflow, most of the use cases can be handled
more easily in Mercurial with the crecord extension.

 * GitHub
Bitbucket.

 * Easy to learn
Mouahahahahahahah!

	The other points are true, but they are also applicable to any DVCS.
