He merely repeated the mantra at every opportunity. Well, if you don't have problems with SVN, then he hasn't done much of a job explaining how git is an improvement, has he? Why even bring up the competition if you're just going to vaguely say "X sucks and we all know it!" without ever drawing a comparison or explaining why the competition is weak in an area?

I didn't see the talk, but comparing git to SVN is like comparing vim to eclipse.

They are two tools to do different (even if similar in some ways) task.

So I don't need reasons of why SVN sucks if I have no problem with SVN and I'm not doing distributed develompent.

Just my 2 cents
