I mostly agree, but have been using git almost exclusively lately. The big draw for me is the ability to (easily) commit locally (and roll back those commits if I mess something up), then push commits to the "master" repository selectively. If SVN allowed for a similar workflow, it would satisfy my needs just fine. Of course, any distributed VCS would probably fit that description... I found mercurial to be nice as well, and I used it happily for a couple projects. The primary reason for switching to git was to become familiar with another tool.
