I find git to be easier for me to use on projects where I am the only one doing the editing.

I love that I can add and remove files without having to worry about svn being mad about a file disappearing. It seems much easier for me to work how I like to work.

Also, I branch a lot more now. I never branched with svn, but now I find myself branching all the time, because it's so easy and fast.

Good luck.

Actually gitk is history viewer, while git-gui is graphical commit tool (and not only: check for example "git gui blame file", graphical blame).

As to chairman introduction: Git was very difficult to use at beginning, when it consisted only of bare bones porcelain, but it much improved since.
