A superset is not always better.

Consider domain-specific languages vs. general-purpose languages. You need to weigh the benefits of increased power with the drawbacks of additional complexity.

Ease of use is important, we certainly agree on that. But "git clone url" vs "svn co url" and "git commit -a" vs "svn commit" isn't significantly more complex.
