I don't fully agree (see
https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=two-kinds-of-fools
and https://shlomif.livejournal.com/11889.html ) but regading git I feel
that all other DVCSes are either not much better to be worth using instead
or otherwise have significant drawbacks (see
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Apps/vcs.html ) to not be worth the trouble of
using instead (unless you are involved in a project that uses one). And git
is, albeit not perfect, good, and is FOSS, so I feel I can trust it (see
https://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/open-source/not-trust-non-FOSS/
).
