Some ideas:

1. By being "stupid", git doesn't treat the user as stupid.

2. git allows repositories to be uploaded or transferred anywhere for others to use with a single, simple command.

3. git is efficient and fast. No one likes waiting for their computer to do a seemingly easy task -- especially software developers/hackers who know something should be O(1) complexity and could be written in X lines of code.

4. Merging/branching is easy.
