We do, at least to my mind. It's called Mercurial. It's great, extremely close to git, but is much easier to use IMO. It's really a damn shame that git won - primarily, I think, due to the cachet of its author.
Either way, is Git actually that hard to use? You can learn about 10 commands and develop any software just with those. I have no illusions about it's gnarly aspects but also just don't find it particularly difficult. Contrast a programming language that might have footguns in just printing strings.
The way I remember it git one for two reasons: 1. hg was (maybe still is?) much slower 2. “No technology can ever be too arcane or complicated for the black t-shirt crowd” (fake Linus’s words not mine)
