I suspect s/he thinks Git is better because it is open source.

I've used both a lot and Git is faster at some things but BitKeeper gets some things right that Git does not, such as renames, per file comments, digging around in the history.

I think the right answer is that we're all better off because of both. BitKeeper was the original DSCM and paved the way, Git is open source, they are both actively moving forward, hard not to like that.
