I really was trying to point out that i found it easy to incorporate a VCS early into my projects, not that you should use Git over Fossil. That is, i was addressing your comment "And only for small things I could do quickly."

However, in terms of what does Git(hub) offer that the others do not? Culture. Github has revolutionized business operations in the Open Source community, and the features that modern a decentralized VCS like Git offers certainly provided the pathway for that revolution. I can use Github not just in my resume, but AS my portfolio itself.

UPDATE:
"I was referring to my use of Git. Otherwise, I use Fossil as my VCS."

Yes, i was referring to your (limited) usage of git as well. I really don't see anything (practical) that Fossil does that git cannot do, but use whatever tools you wish. It's not like you are going to impact the git community by not using it for those projects that you deem unworthy for git to handle.
