git: stores and compares decentralized repositories extremly well. It's good if you have loose collaborations without a central insitution providing the repo service. Advantages are that people can quickly store their own versions during development
subversion: manages a single repository in cases where preventing multiple (uncontrolled) branches is mandated to the organization responsible (Yes, it is an advantage not to have too many different possible original sources of builds).
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

Actually, I've read pieces written by ex SVN developers that make this joke believable... many of the devs wouldn't even grumble about it.

I am a happy user of both. Subversion and Git have different fields of application, and that is good.

They have the same fields of application, just one is vastly superior to the other.
