I know other version control software exists, but does anyone use it? Why? What are the differences? All I’ve ever actually seen people use is git.

    There is only one alternative for distributed version control, Mercurial. Everything else is significantly inferior, except maybe for special cases. Mercurial may be fine for newcomers to step in, but probably at some point the flexibility of Git will be missed. And because of so many people using Git there are more solutions to specific problems.
