I used subversion until about 2 weeks ago when I started work at a new company and now use Git. Git is much more powerful, in my opinion - branching is incredibly easy to work on experimental code.

Branching is pretty easy in Subversion as long as you're using 1.5.x.

Yeah, it's really merging that's a pain in Subversion. Easy merging has been the biggest win for me with Git.
