Git is perfectly friendly, so long as you use an interface other than the command-line.
I need to actually try this. I think "non-friendly" is related to several different things: one is people who don't grok command lines at all; one is the fact that the syntaxes to the command line tools are invariably inconsistent with each other in ways designed to make common tasks simple, but prevent easily generalising syntax; one is that it works on a somewhat different mental model to previous VCS (so people who are experience with SVN etc sometimes find it HARDER than someone who's never used VCS at all); one is that you can do quite complicated things but there may not always be a "right" way to do them. I'm not sure if you can fix all those things at once (but hopefully...)
