"Facebook didn’t adopt Mercurial because it was more performant than Git. They adopted it because the maintainers and codebase felt more open to collaboration. Facebook engineers met face-to-face with Mercurial maintainers and liked the idea of partnering"

This was one of the last paragraphs of the article:)

Thanks a lot. The article was too long and I didn't read it. :)
