I think the most striking point made here was the one about culture and how without everyone buying into the DevOp paradigm, its just another unused tool.

I say this because I've lived it...the last 3 (three!) companies I've contracted at were pushing dev code to live servers! Even after I setup svnserve and created the repos, no one was really interested in changing workflow. I choose svn because, lets face it, it has a much lower learning curve then git.

It wasn't until I absolutely refused to work on the live server that other the devs grudgingly started using SVN...I'm sure they are all back to FTPing to the live server now that I'm gone.

Without the proper culture from above, things just aren't going to change.
