From the website, there are many things that are off, but the one that bothers me is that they list the feature of "staging area", which is a total misfeature. It basically means you need to commit twice, instead of supporting an easy "uncommit" command.
Personally, I find the staging area quite useful and use it on a regular basis. The reason for this is that it allows me more fine-grained committing during my development work (normally, I realize that it would be sensible to store my changes in a commit when other files are already changed; using the staging area I don't have to undo these newer changes before committing). But maybe that's a personal thing, and if you don't like it you can simply ignore it and commit as you used to with other version control systems (using the -a switch).
Regarding an easy "uncommit" command: One of the main reasons I love git is that you have incredible power with undoing commits, reordering commits, combining multiple commits in a single one, etc. I'd be interested which of this is possible with bzr.
