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.
