Personally, I prefer either Mercurial (hg) or Bazaar (bzr). However, since GitHub is the place to do open-source development, if you're going to play in that arena, you've got to be at least familiar.
(There's probably an interesting thought there, something about superior tooling around acceptable-quality software being a killer combo, but my employer would probably rather me philosophize when I'm not on their dime.)
I'm a developer who likes testing first, iterative processes, and refactoring, and I care about quality. I speak both C and Ruby with some facility, and enjoy both, which confuses some people.

It's the GitHub pull request. That's the killer feature of Git, even though it's not a feature of Git itself.
