Ironically Mercurials most popular UI frontend Tortoise is going to
crash Python tools ( like Wing-IDE ) on Windows. That's a known issue
for about a year and more and the developers are not inclined to fix
it. This doesn't really increase my trust that Mercurials UI tools are
of a higher quality than Git's no matter which platform is used.
