I've been using Mercurial (hg) quite a lot, despite having an initial
preference for git. (Mercurial seemed to have better windows support
at the time we chose a DVCS, and that's pretty important at work.)
We switched from svn, and I've found that hg works quite well. I
don't have comparable experience with other DVCSs, but I've found that
I'm *much* more likely to actually use version control as part of my
workflow now that we're using a distributed system. We really only
used svn as a fancy/robust way to share source code between numerous
people. It was rare that anyone actually used branches / etc.
I've been quite surprised by how handy it is to push/pull to/from
multiple different repositories. I generally have two machines
working on development branches, and sharing code (laptop and
desktop), but either one may end up needing to pull/push bits to the
central "stable"(er) repository.
