Not to dissuade people from looking into alternatives, but the high quality integration that Git has with every single code editor in wide use today is a huge advantage over every other VCS imo. As far as I can tell, the closest to it in that regard is Subversion, but it's not all that close. One of my friends is getting into Plastic SCM, for fair reasons, but Plastic doesn't have a UI as fun as Magit.
