Despite using CVS and SVN for years, I was never truly comfortable with either. When I first learned git, it was like a breath of fresh air. Suddenly the VCS was behaving in predictable ways. Yet I'd put off learning git for two or three years because everybody was telling me "git is so much more confusing than subversion." I shouldn't have listened to them, and they shouldn't have said that!

Maybe if somebody has already mastered subversion then git will confuse them a lot, but I'm not convinced even that is necessarily true. Regardless, it seems clear to me that novice users shouldn't be told that git is complicated.
