The reasons listed are true for pretty much any of the current popular distributed source control systems. They have various minor under the hood differences (eg if they record the existence of directories), as well as interaction styles (eg read about git and the index). So far Fossil is lacking a means of converting back out into some other system. Tailor is a good tool for doing this for other systems - it replays the changes from one repository to another - http://progetti.arstecnica.it/tailor Not mentioned is the unique functionality of Fossil providing a bug tracker and wiki as part of the repository. There are projects to add wiki's and bug trackers to other version control systems, but they are problematic because the original system design never anticipated the wiki and bug tracker functionality. It is generally considered best developer practise for a bug/feature tracker ticket to exist corresponding to each source change, which Fossil makes *very* easy to do, as well as document background in the wiki. This is the very good reason to use Fossil instead of the other DVCS systems.
