it's neither flippant or arrogant, it's just referring to earlier
trolls^Wdiscussions that happened on the list that you can refer
to if you're interested in *why* mercurial is still the preference.

Hell… That's the most non-constructive, the most irrelevant, the most
inacurrate remark you could make. Yes, Mercurial is less popular than
git, but it's not a question of 'generation', both git and mercurial
were first released the *same* month:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurial
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)
The reason git gained more popularity is mostly because the linux kernel
is using it, and because github had more traction/popularity than other
online repository service. But technically speaking, mercurial and git
are both great.
And in the end it all comes down to a question of taste.

You're right, let's rewrite vim in C#, because C is of another
generation.
