And yet only git has these problems. I work with artists and designers - non technical people - all day. 10 minutes with p4v is all they need to be able to check in, update, roll back bad changes, and shelve to share with others, and even these people who manage to get their computers into the most unbelievable of states can do that without breaking their workspace and needing help.

I appreciate that you are at least honest enough to name your shill account for what it is.
You need to think about what you're actually trying to accomplish, and that requires having a mental model of how the tool works. And no, I don't mean under the hood, I mean stuff like "what does a rebase do?" and "how do branches work?"
The Git Book is a great resource for this. I recommend reading it and trying the examples over and over until they stick. I promise, git is not inscrutable.
