Users have made several recommendations based on their experiences with Mercurial. Here are the three most common ones:

Consider Mercurial for new projects or when migrating from other systems like SVN. According to users, Mercurial's implementation and data structures are designed for speed, making it a viable option for managing code repositories. It is suggested that those interested in Mercurial should give it a try without feeling the need to learn all its features right away.

Learn at least one other version control system (VCS) to compare with Mercurial. Users recommend exploring both distributed and centralized VCS options to gain a broader understanding of different tools and their capabilities. By doing so, one can make an informed decision about which VCS is best suited for their specific project requirements.

Consider GitHub as a popular choice for hosting repositories and taking advantage of its integrations with other tools. While users appreciate Mercurial's interface and the TortoiseHg graphical user interface (GUI), some are considering moving to GitHub and utilizing hg-git for a more robust ecosystem. Additionally, Bitbucket with native Mercurial repos is seen as a good option, especially for free private repositories.

Overall, users believe that Mercurial is a powerful and easy-to-use source code management (SCM) tool comparable to Git. However, they emphasize the importance of considering the overall strategy and requirements of the project before choosing an SCM solution. It is also suggested to give Mercurial a chance before opting for Git alternatives.
