I think poor IDE support is pretty unilateral because git is supposed to used from a command line. It is great to work with a tool where the UI is an after thought because the UI will always be cumbersome with something as complex as source control. msysgit works great, has for years. The install is simple enough a non-technical person can do it. I've used git on projects with non-technical people checking in from the command line. It is pretty surprising to see a PM have an easier time than a dev only because they don't have years of UI driven source control working against them. Using source control from the command line... well that is the trick. Though I haven't met many great developers who cannot. Also, git extensions is pretty good (better than tortoise). I usually install it because viewing the history from the IDE is a nice way to keep your flow going. You can do some creative things searching through the logs as well.
