Honestly, when our backend team merged into one that was using Perforce for the backend learning how to use Perforce wasn't realistically even a blip on the radar of what to get used to. I was against it at the time for what we were doing but with the benefit of hindsight I can say that I prefer something like Perforce if someone can manage it for me, or it's a set-and-forget type situation; I don't personally have a lot of use for the distributed part of DVCS.
Currently I use Fossil for most projects, but it's not a compelling choice (just like git) for when you have binary stuff. You've got `fossil uv` for unversioned files, but I think I would rather just sidestep the entire problem with a better versioning model than what we've settled on for text files.

I think a lot of what people are assuming here is that because git has such a steep learning curve, P4 does too. You can literally ignore all of the concepts that P4 has and still muddle your way into getting things updated.
