I just started a new job, at it's the first time in a fairly long career I have had to use git instead of svn. The company I joined only recently switched to git too.

Thing is, I understand svn. I get it, and I have used it for years and know, almost instinctively now, what will happen when I use the various commands.

Git for me just feels overly confusing. I suppose it's just because I'm used to "the old way" but just take a look online at how many articles that are out there trying to explain how git works. Why are so many needed? It feels like there are many more than there are explaining how svn works.

By the way, I can see the benefits of git and I feel I'm getting the hang of it quite well now, but I still like svn :)

There are so many articles because there are a lot of people out there that really like git. It's like cutting meat with a spoon and then you are given a knife. Everyone is complaining about how you can cut yourself or how two sides of the knife but only one is sharp is confusing but once you know how to use it it is a game changer with respect to actually cutting meat. There are a lot of people passionate about cutting meat.

It's not really that hard to learn btw. There are some esoteric things that can be tricky but the Svn workflow can be learned in a day or two tops.
