Agree ! Having gone from nothing to Subversion, I think Subversion is great (with TortoiseSVN, at least).

Are there better tools ? Is Git better ? Maybe, but different tools for different uses. For me personally, Subversion does not suck, and I don't need a "better" tool.

It works, and gets the job done for me !

It's helpful for me to see these articles pop up since I don't currently use a revision control system such as subversion or git. Granted, I'm not looking for one at the moment, either, but it does plant seeds in the back of my mind for when I do need one.
