Wholeheartedly agree.
Going from SVN to Mercurial was a night and day experience. Going from Mercurial to Git was a marginal improvement initially but a lasting change long-term.
Then there are the "visual" VCSes like Rational and TFS that are designed to _only_ work within an IDE and grokking them involves wading through hundreds of pages of corporate tech docs.
VCSes (or at least the ones I used) were generally awful before Git.
