Bazaar has wonderful cross-platform support as well; I've used it on 
multiple Linux distributions, Mac OS X, and Windows systems.  I chose it 
over git because it's simpler, and over Mercurial because at the time 
Mercurial was pretty bloody useless.  I actually haven't checked out hg 
again since then, because it _really_ rubbed me the wrong way.  It took 
forever to get a simple clone and for that matter, if memory serves, I 
had to use some out of band means to get the clone because it wouldn't 
work normally or something.  I don't remember anymore.
