Just to add another anecdotal point on top of your own. I use git because it gets the jobs done. I don't remotely care that Linus uses it. I've honestly never ran into issues even on 20 person+ teams using simple branch & rebase strategies. To each their own.

I am not sure what your point is. Subversion, git, hg, darcs all get the job done. Was your choice of git based on its superiority over the other ones or just a side effect of its popularity? The problem with git is not that you will run into issues, it is that other vcs provide a saner ui and require less of their users without missing on features.

But surely we all understand that the "best" tool doesn't always win the day, right?
