   @b0rk @karlstanley StarTeam, Perforce, CVS, SVN… git has not let me down once. SVN to git was like that day you switched from Altavista to Google. With the caveat being git didn’t turn out to be a piece of shit surveillance capitalist.

     i've been hearing a lot from folks on here who are frustrated with git (for many good reasons!)

     but I'm curious about the opposite perspective: if you've worked with more than one version control system over the years and you _prefer git_, I'd love to know:

     a) what other systems have you worked with? (hg? svn? p4?)
     b) why do you prefer git?

     notes:
     - please no replies about why you think git is worse
     - interested in answers other than "because I have no choice"
