I've used git for years after having spent years with SVN. no one taught me SVN and never really read much documetation. It was so simple and straightforward. Git introduces a lot of new power and features, but nowhere near the cost increase of the learning to use it. FWIW, I always hoped Mercurial would win. It's at near feature parity with git, but is far easier to use.
We're definitely staging a comeback. Mercurial's development is lively and interesting, and with the backing of the likes of Google, Facebook, Mozilla, and Atlassian, we definitely are seeing lots of good stuff in hg.
