Ask HN: Git alternatives that aren't so complicated?

Disagree. I learned Git after working with SVN for years. Knowing SVN put me at no advantage whatsoever. If anything, I had to actively get SVN habits out of my brain to make the most out of Git (e.g. SVN trains you to avoid branches because their merging is a hot mess, but in Git, branches are everywhere).

But you were able to be productive on those projects with git, even if you didn't use it optimally, or to full extend, right?

Sure, but that's moving the goalposts so much that you're invalidating your entire premise.
