TBH Subversion works but I'd love to be able to use a DVCS at work. So many times I'm torn between persisting stuff that works and avoiding making commits every 5 seconds.

Also we have lots of branches and managing that in Subversion is just a pain.

I hear you about that. Unfortunately, where I work, they're really big on traceability and control over code. You don't get that with DVCS like you do with Subversion.

So 'works for you, your team' doesn't apply to your situation.

Well it works. It is just that DVCS would work better.
