The choice was between Git and Svn. Google showed that Git out of competition. So, Git is my choice.

I feel like git(hub) together with a syncing software such as Sugarsync is the most efficient way for me to stay synced across devices while maintaining user friendlyness and get away from cross-platform headaches while having minimal time to setup 
Same for me.
SVN is very simple.
I can’t believe you’re using SVN… and especially for personal projects.
It’s insane.
The only valid argument for SVN these days is if you’re versioning a lot of binary files, like images.
Mercurial is dead simple:
hg init
hg add
hg status
hg commit -m "message"
You don’t even have to push if you’re just working locally.
And it’s got this Tortoise thing going too: TortoiseHg.
And - in stark contrast to SVN which insist on polluting the entire directory tree with .svn folders, you only have one toplevel .hg directory to deal with.
I’m using svn, but i wish i could use git in my work.
I use git, for reasons everybody has already covered 
2555
Da:Sourcerer: Yes. This is why I mostly use Mercurial. 
There’s hope, though. i received a hint that Mercurial might be able to talk to git. Not sure if it’s worth the hassle.
Could be worth it…
Wasn’t worth it when I checked it out, but that was years ago.
I don’t mind using Git if it’s only simple stuff.
But for full blown shit, I prefer to use Mercurial.
Interestingly, a similar poll conducted at the Ogre3d.org forum showed that there were as many Mercurial users as there are Git users.
That’s C++ developers.
So it seems like web devs are biased towards Git.
Also, a rather small percentage were still using SVN.
I see that it’s a bit high here.
That’s strange.
I really wonder why. I see no reason why language- and (d)vcs-preference should correlate. Maybe it’s a form of socialization?
I think you can blame the Web 2.0 trend for that… But it’s interesting whatever the reason.
I use hg solely because Bitbucket offers free private repo’s and I haven’t had the need to change.
Bitbucket offer free hosting for private git repositories too, since month or two ago.
Just noticed that. So it’s new? Thought I was imagining things at first!
Bitbucket has been offering free private projects hosting since they joined Attlasian, back in 2010, exactly since Sept 28.
Also, i use mercurial + bitbucket for all my personal and company projects.
Can’t believe so many people still use SVN, I switched to Git two years ago and it’s so much better! (no more tree errors lol)
I’m using svn and would like to switch end of year to git.
