Fair enough - I suspect it won't stay so obscure though. Being
distributed with Linux systems I don't regard very highly -
using the distro's to source applications tends to result in
version update delays, unnecessarily duplicate packaging work,
confusing application behaviour differences, and in general
is one of the major factors preventing the development of
a viable Linux application eco-system.

Sure, and I've used Git when I've had to, but that was enough to convince
me that it's not something I would choose to use unless I needed it's
couple of key features (massive scalability and re-basing).
