Or you like to check different systems, because it's interesting to see their
differences :)
Or you want to be fluid enough to be able to get working instantly, if you
should happen to get accross a project which uses the other VCS (that's the
reason why I learned basic Bazaar usage - and it paid off in the end, because
I could easily write a Gentoo live (=VCS) ebuild for oggfwd a few months
later).
Or you simply enjoy the occasional challenge ;)
(though bazaar mainly was a challenge to my patience while the initial clone
took its time - and more time, and ... :) )

Also you can very easily customize it with extensions... damn, we had that
discussion already. It took several weeks of pages-long E-Mails :-)
It was a very nice and deep discussion, though, and I quite enjoyed the
additional understanding of the concepts of both systems I got in the
discussion.
That discussion is the reason why I now tell people "find out what's best for
you - I've been burned deeply by git, but there are many people who like it,
and it's quite powerful" instead of "better not touch git if you don't need to
- except if you want to invest far more time than it's worth".
And I found a clutch for me: I write custom scripts for any more complex
action I need to do with git - or at least copy the bash command somewhere
(like the wiki), so I can reuse it directly. That way I can use it
efficiently, now (though my measure on efficient git usage might differ a lot
from yours... :) ).
Best wishes,
Arne
