I love Fossil and I use it for my projects. I understand why it isn't for everyone, but considering I am the sole developer on the stuff I make (and I agree with Dr. Hipp about the drawbacks of rebase), it's perfect for my needs. Lightweight, has its own integrated web server and forge features should I need them, and it's dead easy to use. It isn't the one VCS to rule them all (no such thing exists, really), but I do encourage people to check it out because they might fall in love like I did.

Then you have proven that you are human. > Fossil has no way to fix it, by design, As an 18-year-long contributor to fossil i can assure you that this is absolutely not true. Fossil can amend any checkin and it can move checkins to other branches. Go to sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=mistake to see many examples of where human failing has been both demonstrated and accounted for without breaking anything.
