I know some people who prefer svn or mercurial over git.

Sure, that's normal! I'm curious whether the OP was saying that programmers didn't like git specifically vs version control in general.

Well, to be fair, I'm not really that much of a fan of even saving files. I think that real programmers ought to remember.

Believe it or not, these guys are still using Visual Source Safe. They find "git pull, git checkout -b, git commit -a, git pull, open merge request on gitlab" too cumbersome for their day-to-day activities.
