It is a true power tool. It does need an initial investment to get over the hump but I would never go back to SVN.

It doesn't take a huge amount of time to really learn the basic concepts and then maybe the 10 most used commands (I suggest using git cat-file -p to navigate a repo and history manually). There is a wealth of functionality and an inconsistent terminology, but you can quickly look that up when you actually need it.

I feel like some people are better at the context switch between the project they are working on and git. I am not good at that context switch.
