I think you nailed it on the head there, Li. I had a hell of a time trying to convince my team to use Subversion over (*gasp*) VSS, despite the abominable network performance that we were getting with VSS _and_ all of its obvious flaws (which they freely admitted), until I finally showed them Tortoise (which I don't personally use) and then they were all for it. Something like Tortoise for Git on Windows would remove a __huge__ barrier to entry for most people that aren't already comfortable with the command line. As simple as git is from the command line, certain people just don't want to bother.
