A git-newbie opinion:

I've used CVS for years, am comfortable with SVN (no surprises there,
its so similar), and toyed with some other SCMs.  I recently played
with git and:

 - converting an existing CVS repo to git was easy--worked the 
     first time
 - creating a fresh git repo was trivial
 - the basic actions (status, diff, commit, ignore, etc.) that you 
     spend 90+% of your time using were pretty easy to locate in the
     docs and then get the syntax right

For the basic stuff I think "git just works -- even for a beginner" is
a good assessment.
