I don't think it's unfortunate. We use subversion for development in our team and it does everything we need it to. We looked into git and didn't find it offered any features that would significantly improve our process, but found 1000 more ways to shoot ourselves in the foot

For many processes I think SVN is (and has been for many many years) been an absolutely fine method of version control

You're not wrong about this.

I really like git for the cheap branching, which encourages branching and merging often. But SVN might have cheap branching now, as another commenter implies.
