Is Git as the only SCM ecosystem healthy?

As far as healthy, it's actually surprising so many have pulled everyone into a travesty that is git.

Yes, it's fast, but it sucks at everything else ("suck" is a bit too hard, it's more that other tools are more pleasant to use).

Still,the question you pose is an interesting one. I am curious to hear from others who have ported their projects to use git? I.e. there are hundreds of programming languages, but git it is for SCM.

Is it because the investment in learning it is so high? Is it because there are multitude of hosting solutions where others are rare and few? I really wonder!

Is fossil the only living comparable?

So I guess the masses are OK with this.

And what happened to the other DVCS contenders?
