At this point I'm using git because, well, all the cool kids are doing it, and
since I work at the university I have to go with the flow sometimes.
And git has some nice properties. On the other hand, I have shot myself
in the foot with git more times than the sum of all other screwups with
all other source management systems combined.

Mercurial still holds that honor for me. I've screwed up so bad I had to reclone and lost work. Dozens of times. :(.
Git is just as easy to screw up. And were it not for the extensive "hole in foot first aid" feature git has, I'd be there too... I hate the cli because it seems overtly hostile to orthogonality, consistency and logic. But learn the warts and it gets the job done.
