D'oh, answered before I saw your note about the one click installers. I agree that learning to use version control is a bit of a hurdle initially. However, I'd say that it is something that you simply HAVE to learn. Anyone who isn't using it should simply accept that need to do this (even if it's just because "everyone else is doing it", because in this case "everyone else" is right). The benefits to doing so, and the risks of not doing so, are simply irrefutable. And, honestly, it's really not that difficult to get going with it.
As for docs, I used http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ early on. But with the built-in SVN tools for Eclipse and Windows/OSX, pulling and committing to the repository is really pretty straightforward (right click > commit. done!)
