> bzr, unlike most distributed systems, has great support for pseudo-centralized workflows—so you can get the benefit of distributed branches but it also makes lock-stepped development painless, and you also easily interact with subversion repos.
Hmm, I don’t quite get this one. Could you elaborate a bit?
> bzr has the best documentation, IMO
Documentation is very important to me, but as Git’s documentation is excellent too it won’t pull me over. Same goes for the merges.
> The IRC community is wonderful.
Ubuntu, eh? :)
My problem with IRC is that I stop doing any other work, but of course, it’s still a benefit to be available :)
> Fairly good 3rd party support (trac integration, eclipse integration)—much better than git, a little worse than hg
This is very useful indeed. It won’t convert me immediately, but I’ll keep it in mind :)
> Launchpad, the bzr project home, is phenominal.
It is indeed, and I’ll very likely be using Launchpad once the project is all set up. When it comes to bzr integration, however, I like Gitorious’ features better.

I’ve already read that before :)
All in all, Bazaar does indeed sound very appealing, and I’m definitely interested in that blog post. It’s good to know that it’s easy to convert (don’t you just love open source? :) so I’ll definitely be keeping it in mind. Thanks!
