You're wrong, git is simpler. I mean it has a simpler architecture, a simpler foundation. This simpler architecture means some changes in your habits and, because it is a new tool, an interface that is a bit rough on the edges.
Git simpler? I really don't see how. SVN is focused on having one branch, canonical copy on the server, and you have two big buttons to pull down the newest updates to your copy and also to put your own updates into the master.
That seems intuitive because you're used to such a workflow. As someone who started out with git and then learnt about SVN, I found the non-distributed approach somewhat puzzling and limiting.
Unless you are working across multiple groups with developers in different time zones and a choppy set of releases you'll see almost no benefit from git.
However, if you are in that situation the benefits are large and immediate.
Well, if you enjoy 'log' pulling info over the network (slowly), .svn in every single folder, barely useable branching, no reabase, no stach, no… well maybe you have the point.
Otherwise not even comparable.
When I first saw Linus' talk on git where he was very harsh toward SVN uers I thought "WTF". Then I tried git and had to admit that the man was right.
Even when working on my own, I get a massive benefit from git. I think people end up being very polarised here.
The biggest benefit I get is that I can work on a set of changes as a set rather than a linear sequence that only ever goes forwards in time. I use microcommits. As I make progress on a feature, I discover necessary refactoring that I would ideally have been done before I started to add the feature. Interactive rebase allows me to make this so, and the result is that when I am done I can review my own work and check it for correctness with much more confidence than otherwise.
When working in open source, you're expected to provide a patch series for easy review. Git lets me produce such a thing with the same workflow.
Developers who don't wish to work this way, or are unaware of the benefits that this can bring, use git linearly and will see no benefit over Subversion.
