This is simply untrue:

"The issue you have with git, is that untrained developers have a hard time using it."

Please re-read my first post, up above, which started this thread. I wrote:

"But all of that stuff is trivial compared to the major flaw:

Graphic designers, writers, HTML/CSS frontenders, managers, data analysts and QA staff can’t use Git, even though they all used Subversion."

Ok, I agree, attacked your weakest argument, which you specifically marked as being trivial flaws. So to address your actual issue:

> Graphic designers, writers, HTML/CSS frontenders, managers, data analysts and QA staff can’t use Git, even though they all used Subversion.

Why is it hard for them to use git? For simple use cases, git can be as easy as commit & push. No need for branches. There are even UIs which allow you to easily make commits and see the log [1]. If more people work together and conflicts arise, I honestly don't know how SVN is better at solving them.

    All I can do is quote what you wrote in a different comment:

    "If you're an artist, git is not for you."
