Vernooij: Bazaar-NG: 7 years of hacking on a distributed version control systemVernooij: Bazaar-NG: 7 years of hacking on a distributed version control systemPosted Dec 20, 2012 4:01 UTC (Thu) by yarikoptic (subscriber, #36795)Parent article: Vernooij: Bazaar-NG: 7 years of hacking on a distributed version control system
My summary quote is "I think it's time to move on. There are still some things I don't like about it, but Git is a decent source code management system. Bazaar isn't going anywhere; no doubt there will be users for a few years to come, and people contributing fixes, but it hasn't been adopted to the level I was hoping.".
On a related note -- happen Canonical not closed-sourced launchpad development until "nobody cared anymoe", its engine as well as bzr could have been different now. They could have been approached by contributors/developers wanting other VCS backends in LP than bzr. That could have not only made launchpad a platform that others could deploy privately, but probably could help bzr as well.

Its useful to see the explosion of different ideas around a similar concept, git, arch, hg, bzr, but its also nice when there is some consolidation around a smaller set of tools that are most suitable, most popular etc so we can all have something we know how to use.
