I moved from SCCS to RCS to CVS to Subversion to Git.

Moving to Git was the more difficult step for me. I prefer it now. For a while I had to move back to Subversion and I hated it.

Can't use svn for the life of me, though I used it for 10 years before trying git for a real dvcs need (remote team for a while)...

Just the idea pains me. Missing git add -p, cherry-pick & rebase -i so much I immediately put git-svn on if I have to go back...

Also, it makes telecommuting easier, asynchronous team work so much simpler...

I think the key 'abstraction' that people don't understand is cherry-pick. I can't explain clearly in fine details /how/ it works, but it is the base of so much of git's power...
