-<p>EasyMercurial is a user interface for the Mercurial distributed version control system.</p>
+<p>Our aim has been to make EasyMercurial straightforward to teach and learn.<br>It uses a friendly graph representation for history, to make
+branching and merging easier to understand: it makes common working
+patterns easy to find and learn, particularly when using a shared
+remote repository: and it is consistent across platforms.</p>
 
-<p>EasyMercurial is intended to be:</p>
+<p>EasyMercurial is not designed for large projects or for very
+experienced users, and there are other Mercurial interfaces that
+integrate more closely with particular operating system platforms (see
+a list <a
+href="http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/OtherTools">here</a>).  But if
+you are new to Mercurial or to version control systems in general &mdash; or
+if you are trying to introduce it to other users &mdash;
+consider using EasyMercurial.</p>
 
-<ul>
-<li>simple to teach and to learn</li>
-<li>indicative of the actual repository state, using a history graph representation</li>
-<li>recognisably close to normal command-line workflow for Mercurial</li>
-<li>consistent across platforms</li>
-</ul>
+</div>
 
-<p>We are not trying to produce "the best" Mercurial client for any one purpose. We actively encourage users to move on to other clients as their needs evolve. The aim is simply to provide something accessible for beginners in small project groups working with a shared remote repository.</p>
