If you don't need anything that it's offering, fine, don't use it.

I need lots of branches amongst my team. I tried to use Perforce branching and I found out I was pounding nails into my eyeballs.

I'd be surprised if any of the other SCMs that can do what git does have significantly different models of behavior. I know Darcs is quite similar (though it can be a little smarter about merges sometimes).
