msysgit is getting there (core components of GIT are currently being 
ported from shell script to C to aid portability), and includes a 
perfectly usable GUI to make Windows developers happy (the installer 
includes all batteries, including git-svn). The main performance 
problems are Window's lack of fast inode querying (you have to open a 
file to get the inode of it), and the extensive use of 'fork' in the GIT 
code base, which is slow on Windows.

It is more powerful; if you look at the mailing list, it looks like it 
has more developers working on it than Bzr and Hg put together (some of 
them very good, like Linus Torvalds), so it's not surprising! OTOH, git 
is rather complex.
