I remember SVN
I want to forget SVN
I never understood the SVN hate. Then, as now, the problems are almost never caused by the tools, and almost always caused by the people misusing them.
I never got around to using anything except git, partly because of all the hate people would throw at the other competitors back in the day. Even if the criticisms were not fair, and even if it was all a secret conspiracy to kill git competitors, it definitely worked out for the best. Imagine the hell we'd be in today if we had to constantly deal with different VCS solutions.
It wasn't really that big a deal. Most of them have more in common than they have differences. If anything, I experienced fewer problems in the age of SVN. It has fewer options than git, but it's also a lot more intuitive and easy to learn, which counts for a lot when your largest limiting factor is your coworkers.
Not saying I want the world to go back to that, just pointing out the hate is really overblown.
I run a svn server at work
