We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Maybe that first phrase you've quoted was a bit wrong or ambiguous. I don't care about how many "people" are git fanboys. It's just that if you search the web for things like "git vs. svn" or anything like that most of the bloggers/commentators/askers etc. are pro git and think it's the better SCM. I won't hesitate to use another system if it's better suited for our purpose.

@MarcelGwerder - another systems are not better for your purpose (any SCM with good merging will satisfy you, and Git's merge /in common sense/ is better than svn's), they can give you just less headache and more easier learning curve, than Git. I touched Git, I use Subversion and Mercurial, without strong reasoning I'll never select Git as SCM of my choice (SVN for linear history and minimal concurrent changes, Mercurial in any more hard case)

Downvoting. In 2013, DVCS of some sort is absolutely standard, and Git is the most popular DVCS.
