My #1 reason to use Git is the fact that the repo is in your local

IMO, this is one of the strongest reasons for using any proper,
sophisticated, modern distributed version control system. Some examples
would be Darcs, Git, Monotone, Mercurial, and Bazaar. I use Monotone, and
I like it a lot, but when it comes to VCS, any of these distributed
systems is going to be preferrable to something like CVS or Subversion,
which still have a distinctly server-centric model, regardless of how well
you can manage offline edits (and yes, you can manage offline editing very
effectively in CVS workflows, but it's a lot of work and the distributed
systems just make it easier for you).
I do think that Git is more complex than the other ones, and I haven't
found it enjoyable to use or fix when things go wrong, but as long as you
are using a distributed version control system, you should have an easy
enough time switching between them when you feel like you're ready to try
something new.
