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.

My experience with Perforce hasn't been really positive - especially compared to Plastic SCM, which is amazing. The merge tracking in history is such a cool feature, and it's generally really smooth to work with.

The only issue is the pricing model, which is also a reason why I sadly can't use it on many projects. Unity way too greedy and their strategy is to just acquire and paywall anything usable.
