Why?

Subversion is way easier to use than git, and it takes minutes to setup a server. Pushing your project history is just a few steps with git-svn, though it may take a while depending on the size of your project.

TortoiseSVN is probably the most straightforward and easy to use version control GUI there is.

My point is that it's easier to manage and maintain a single version control system.

That's subjective, I'm more familiar with git thus it's easier for me.

Git doesn't even require a server to use. You can create local repos, you can pull/push to remote repos via SSH/HTTPS/etc. No specialized server software needed.

TortoiseGIT. (Though I prefer headless)
