I loved using sapling / mercurial so much at work that I ended up using the sapling SCM vsc extension at home all the time for personal work.

Only downside is that Phabricator is not open source so viewing it in most things sucks. Hoping now I can get a much better experience

Phabricator is open source and has been for years. It has had a bumpy ride over the last few years though. Although I guess having written that I assume the internal meta one is much better
