I have observed vastly different opinion of git among people for whom git was the first vs, and people who were using svn or cvs before. The former is mostly fond of git, and the latter highly critical, mostly I assume because the concepts don't map the same way.

While I myself think I am pretty familiar with git cli, I don't really use the cli anymore, since intellij covers all the features in a much more intuitive way. e.g staged edits, rebase.

SVN is so dead simple to learn and use. And while I see the benefit of DVCS it hasn't really had much impact on developer productivity. The tools around are just so much more sophisticated than what we had for SVN. And I kinda miss being able to checkout subfolders directly.
