"Some Git fans claim Git is now as easy to learn as Bazaar or Mercurial. With respect, we strongly disagree. […] Git is undoubtedly powerful but, in our view, it’s far more complex than a version control tool needs to be for most people."

From Why Switch to Bazaar? (emphasis from the original).

So basically, you should use Bazaar because it “just does the right thing” and it’s simple enough for you. I don’t like that kind of advocacy, although it may be true for a certain value of you.

I have to deal with Bazaar at work because of a particular project that it’s hosted at Launchpad, and I’m not having a very good time (by the way, Launchpad used to be the killer OSS hosting platform, but I feel it a little bloated lately; I hope it’s not some kind of SourceForge alike syndrome).

It’s just that I MUST use Subversion every day, I like to use GIT at home, and Bazaar falls somewhere in the middle adding some frustration (just because it’s not any other VCS that I’d like to be using).
