For me, tooling support is the most important factor here. At this
moment, as far as I see, SVN is the most commonly used way for code
management. Existing tooling is just excellent (tortoisesvn, svnkit,
etc) and .... existent.

I fear that a switch would 'ruin' this situation. The current SVN does
not hurt me in any way, so I do not see the benefit of another system,
at least not at this moment.
