The vast majority of open source projects that I have contact with are
either already using git or are moving to it*.  Even those using SVN
officially have many developers using git for their own work.

It's starting to become a big blocker for Eclipse adoption that EGit
isn't at the same level of completeness as Team/CVS or
Subclipse/Subversive.  Having to leave your IDE for version control
tasks takes a lot away from the I in IDE.

the fact that the main client is written in python and thus works
natively on Windows and OS X.
