process in being able to do feature based branches with git helps so much,
that I think it's definitely worth the price.
There's no one on this planet that can convince me git is technically better.
I am not talking about "technically better" (or maybe I misunderstand
this term), but
I am talking about "process". With git I can do the following:
- Basically for every change (even in case it might just be a typo
inside documentation) I am creating a branch (which I can a "feature"
branch)
- I can share these branches easily with other people even if they don't
have commit/push access to the master branch and hence collaborate
- I can merge branches easily and in particular merge the master branch
into my feature branches, and hence keep my feature branches in sync,
which greatly simplies merging later on into the master branch
- I can commit stuff without having to be online, which is great when
doing several steps on the code, e.g.
- Commit one: Formatting changes
- Commit two: Functional changes
- Because of the above I can use a RTC (ReviewThenCommit) process,
because "others" can commit to feature branches, where I can review the
code changes and after successful review commit/push to the master branch.
With SVN I couldn't do this that easily and because it wasn't easy, I
didn't do it. But git allowed me/us to change the process and for me
personally that is great.
I think the question is what process do you want and what tool does make
this process simple?
Maybe before argueing SVN versus git you should specify how you want to
collaborate and also specify requirements (as for example you point ou
below about speed). Once you have a clear picture about this, then
consider the various tools which exist.

I've used git on projects before. Its not that i have trouble getting
used to it, its command line is genuinely horrible.
And svn is absurdly fast for me:
rmuir@beast:~/workspace$ time svn co
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/trunk
real 0m23.454s
user 0m5.712s
sys 0m3.232s
The speed of my internet connection makes git obselete.
But if other people really like it, i won't stand in the way.
