Just because there are no shiny GUIs to git yet (are there? I don't know)? Otherwise git seems to be easier to use to me. For one thing, it doesn't pollute every directory with .svn folders.

I suppose you can use subversion standalone? It's been too long since I used it. Anyway, with git just type "git init" and you are ready to go.

gitx, gitg, giggle.. I use gitg on my Ubuntu and gitx on my Mac. Love both, though I use them less. Command line ftw!

Not a GUI, but tig* is a fairly sexy repository browser in ncurses.

I've found Gity to be pretty slick.

there's tortoisegit, but just having a GUI oftentimes doesn't seem to be enough for people trying to wrap their mental hardware around the core concepts of git, I've seen devs using tortoisegit just unable to understand the difference between git and subversion and consequently mashing their code / losing changes very easily etc.

Not good devs, mind you, but you go to war with the army you have.

A friend recommended a fork of GitX:
