It's not a question of familiarity, it's that git doesn't play nice on Windows. It requires a POSIX emulation environment, like cygwin, which is a second class experience.
Compare this with Mercurial, which runs great from the command line on multiple platforms. I actually prefer the command line for SCM work, but git makes it hard.
