How has Git changed the way you think about version control? (programming.dev)

Coming from CVS and ClearCase it took me some time to adopt to Git. The fact that it was distributed was confusing at first, for example, because I thought that would cause chaos. But the way we used it was actually not "that distributed". But once I understood how it worked, not doing DVCS was "the wrong way" immediately.

I've only worked in software for about 15 years, so don't have much experience outside of git.

But my first job used Microsoft Team Foundation, and I didn't need any experience to know that user experience sucked. I've also done the "date named zip file" type of version control, which is not ideal.

When I started using git it just made sense to me, have had no major complaints since.
