I can vouch for the same thing with git. I was hesitant to switch from svn to git for fear of a large learning curve. Actually the learning curve turned out to be nonexistent so I switched everything over. Here's how I got rid of the learning curve....
Why did you switch from svn to git?
* I observed that you can use a DVCS just like a centralized VCS at first.
One of the nice things about having a centralized VCS is that if the HD in my current developer workstation bites the dust I have uploaded all of my commits to the centralized VCS. If I'm using git or hg and the changes are kept local until I push them I could lose a lot of work.
I was going to ask SJS about this in the reply I just sent him: How does one ensure that stuff gets pushed on a regular basis? I have a heard enough time remembering to commit my changes. With hg I would have the additional step of having to remember to push them to the central repo every so often.
* I observed that 99% of what you do in any SCM is just submitting and grabbing code....
Yep. I really haven't had to do any merging yet. I just like the idea of it being easy to do if/when I ever have to.
