Do people use git alternatives? (programming.dev)

I know other version control software exists, but does anyone use it? Why? What are the differences? All I've ever actually seen people use is git.

Checkout doesn't prevent merge conflicts (unless you configure exclusive checkout which is quite annoying). We used perforce and definitely had merge conflicts, though they weren't as crazy as a long git branch would be.
