I'm not sure who "you guys" is. I do not use AsciiDoctor locally, though
I would be happy to see it mature to a point where that is feasible
(because it's way faster, and also because it seems like a much more
active project at this point; it may have more bugs, but the rate of
fixing means it should overtake python AsciiDoc at some point).

If it is "why does git-scm.com use it", I think it is that python
AsciiDoc was hard to embed in a web app. AsciiDoctor started as
git-scm.com's home-grown "just enough asciidoc to render the git
manpages" library, and grew from there. I don't know why they didn't
make a decision to just pre-render outside the app for each version. I
didn't pay much attention at the time.
