I prefer Git, I've invested a lot in learning it, and have done presos and training for it over the years. But I cut my teeth on CVS, and Subversion was a significant improvement over CVS.
Not that I expect anybody to maintain historical perspective. Linus Torvalds famous 2007 rant at Google shitting all over Subversion and its developers set the tone for a long tradition of anti-Subversion anti-history. Never mind "learning from what's gone before", it's like there was only backwards progress until the tool du jour was suddenly invented ex nihilo.
