Over the last week I've been using the Tower git client for OS X and I've absolutely fallen in love. When you've got a good GUI I definitely see what all the git obsession is about.
Being able to commit individual blocks of code (rather than the whole file), stash changes until you're ready to work on them again, and breaking up work into small individual commits that you push once you're actually done (rather than breaking everyone else's code while you work) makes it a true joy to work with. I would never say that for the command line, but I also wouldn't say that for the subversion command line.
