I don't think of myself as old, but certainly grumpy and this comment rubbed me the wrong way.
In my time as a dev I've worked with CVS, SVN, Mercurial, and then git. I can confidently say that no dev I've worked with ever kicked up a fuss when they switched, because each iteration brought improvements.
I would however say that modern devs carry with them modern baggage. There are far too many bootcamps churning out devs who say "this is git, everyone uses it, heres the minimum you need to know". These are the devs who will struggle with this sort of change, it would literally change a magical system they don't fully understand for reasons they may not fully understand.
