I personnaly use Mercurial source control system. I've been using it for a bit more than a year right now. It was actually my first experience with a VSC.

I tried Git, but never really pushed into it because I found it was too much for what I needed. Mercurial is really easy to pick up if you're a Subversion user since it shares a lot of commands with it. Plus I find the management of my repositories to be really easy.

I have 2 ways of sharing my code with people:

• I share a server with a co-worker and we keep a main repo for our project.
• For some OSS project I work on, we create patches of our work with Mercurial (hg export) and the maintener of the project just apply them on the repository (hg import)

Really easy to work with, yet very powerful. But generally, choosing a VSC really depends on our project's needs...
