git is the awesome. i mostly use it from the command line, but when things get messy, pull out gitX to see what's going on with a project. if i don't have to, i'm never using svn again.
plus, https://github.com/ is amazing.
this site has been really helpful for me in learning git: http://gitready.com/
shoot me an email if you want another comprehensive, non-online git resource.

Used to use Git. Back on SVN now which sucks ass frankly.
Neither of them are really fit for purpose. Get a few branches going and then merge and you're in conflict hell.

You can check out Versions - less geeky SVN and more interface pleasantries.

git yeah, took a little bit of getting used to but as wih version control its really good. another one is Mecurial which works in a similar fashion and am using currently.
highly recommend them both.

do you perhaps have a blog we might read?

are you using the command line? you might find it easier to use a gui front end for it, i think there are a few out there now. I personally use svn, but everyone seems to be jumping on git now, as it's distributed so a lot faster and uses less space to store all the changes.

Using GitX. That gui makes it a bit easier to interpret what’s going on but it doesn’t include all of git’s functionality so you need to go back to the terminal a lot. Which sucks if you don’t know git because you spend more time trying to wrap your head around git than you do getting any actual work done.
