I like perforce. It scales significantly better than git, (running git status on a large project, or cloning one takes significantly longer via git than p4). Not having the entire history of a project locally on disk is a pro to me, not a con. P4merge is orders of magnitude better than git's. Atomically incrementing numbers for changelists are superior to sha's if the first thing you do is implement version numbers on top of git. The default workflow is sane and teachable in all of 10 minutes even to non technical people (designers, artists). I like that history is immutable - there are admin tools available if surgery is needed.
P4 isnt perfect, but it's definitely got significant advantages over git in many areas.
