Yes. I've been programming for nearly 40 years and I only had to use Subversion a couple of times; I never really learned it. OTOH I have to use git for all kinds of projects. Learning git is essential in a way that SVN never was. I think part of the reason is that SVN never took over from CVS as completely as git took over from everything else. I think another part of the reason is that the number, size and scope of open-source projects exploded since git and Github appeared, and they mostly chose git. Also relevant: the only project that I recently interacted with that was using SVN is LLVM, and it was faster/easier to use the Github mirror than to use SVN.
