When things get complicated, yes.  Google around for some of the problems.

Likewise, but that's mainly because I have a lot of needs that Git
meets.  Otherwise, it might not be so important which one I choose.
I know a lot of really smart Rubyists that still have this hangup
where they don't get git.   I don't know why that is, but personally,
I rather them use svn than hear them constantly complain about how
"unintuitive" git is.

I do agree on your point that there are a lot of incentives for using
Git in open source, though.
