If people are using SCM for too many things instead of too few, then that's a major improvement. Git could be better, yes. I personally prefer Hg even though I almost never use it due to Git's ubiquity. But as far as switching to distributed SCM, we spent 2 or 3 years fighting to kill the crappy centralized SCM systems we were using and we'll go back to centralized over my dead body.. I'd rather deal with a less friendly distributed system than ever have to use SVN ever again and deal with all the merge nightmares.
