Do people use git alternatives? (self.ask_experienced_devs)

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.

I used ClearCase too :) And it was painful. But I don't think CVS and/or ClearCase are considered to be meaningful alternatives to Git at this day and age. I was mostly thinking about Mercurial and Fossil. They are brought up as alternatives to Git more often. That's my observation at least.
