The docs and higher-level user commands can still use some work, but telling people they have to install and learn an entire extra layer isn't going to win many converts. Personally I think Git needs a bit more polish and to stop thinking of itself as mostly plumbing. Even so Git really has become pretty good at making simple things simple: init-db, add/rm, commit -a, status, show, log, gitk, diff, branch, checkout, clone, fetch/pull The fact that it's faster, requires less disk space, and has all the lower level tools you need to do "complex stuff", should make it a tempting choice once the remaining rough edges are removed. But there is nothing inherently complex about Git.
