There is nothing wrong with Subversion - except if you have a thousand devs distributed over the whole world working on the same project. Then you need a DVCS like Git because Subversion won't scale to that extent.
But for most projects that are much smaller, Git is an error-prone overkill because the user interface is total shit. Not because it's a CLI, but because it's a shit CLI. Remember, good software with bad UI is bad software.
TortoiseSVN simply rocks because I don't have time to fuck around with a helper tool like a VCS. This has to be a no-brainer that I can do while half asleep even if I havn't used it in three months. -
My team: Git and SVN are too complicated. Let's just mail each other code like we've been doing since 19fucking90
"Git is hugely over complicated and dangerous - what on earth is wrong with Subversion?"
"Ah. Allow me to sit you down - this could take a while..."
