I personally love the staging component of git and would be lost without it. I often write a bunch of code working through a problem, because I think best that way, but it makes for a maintenance chore and a poor commit history, so I stage it into multiple commits when I'm done. This is absolutely trivial in git compared with other programs.

Plus, while the UX of git is not intuitive, especially from SVN, if you want to bypass staging and just use it like SVN, you can "git commit -a". Like svn, if you have new, untracked files, you can "git add -A; git commit". This is also trivial to alias.
