It was awful. The fact that SVN is still used terrifies me. People are actively choosing to live their lives like that
Git was just released while I was in college, and I was in a group project that required us to use SVN. First job was a TFS shop. When git finally matured to the point that it couldn't be ignored anymore, life became much much more sane.
Subversion has some features git lacks or lacked for a very long time (I think it has most now). The biggest being able to easily clone and work with a subset of the repository. That's Subversion's entire thing! Don't misunderstand, I prefer git and think it is better.
