I still use SVN. Although Git have many advantages over Subversion with multiple branches and much more, I still see some advantages for SVN. I might guess you can configure Git to act and have the same features as SVN but in this case SVN comes with those features out-of-the box and it's easy to use.
So although most of my projects uses Git as version control, I still use SVN in some cases.
Here are a few pros for Subversion that I use:
- Ability to save large files
- Ability to save binary files
- Easier to use and maintain
- Possibility to update just a sub directory without updating the whole project
I have recently discovered a good GUI Subversion application that works quick, easy to use, small footprint, fast and free, non-intrusive and though I recommend it:
kdesvn - https://apps.kde.org/kdesvn/
* By the way, there is still a possibility to use SVN to read Git repositories and read Git from SVN
