Do people use git alternatives? (programming.dev)

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.

Git is definitely dominating the landscape. The fact that it is free software plays a big role. There are alternatives, but they are unlikely to gain much adoption. They may provide slightly better UX or marginally more comfortable flows, but it's not enough to replace Git. Not to mention, most developers don't even really care about which SCM they use.
