I used to work with TFS but after working with git I can't stand it anymore. But it shows that people have different tastes.

Strongly echo this sentiment. Last time I used TFS was probably in 2011 so things might have changed significantly since then but off the top of my head things I use to hate but now don't need to worry about since using git over TFS:

- Offline? Looks like you'll have to wait to make that change or any other change for that matter since you can't check out files if you're offline. When doing remote work this use to do my head in.

- TFS On Premise putting readonly locks on every file you have. Why? Great question. Made writing build scripts and their ilk much harder to accomplish.

- Want to make a branch? That'll be an entire copy of the source code times however many branches you want

Add to that detection of new files or deletions outside of visual studio. This is so easy in git and a real problem in TFS.
