Am I being a pansy for not wanting to use Git on Windows due to my love of TortoiseSVN? It sounds neat but the lack of a good Windows Explorer plugin for Git (or even just decent Windows command line support) is really just killing my desire to use it on a new personal project.

The thing that makes Perforce slow (for me) is the need to mark a file for edit on the central server when developing. When you're working on a large dev team, that means a 1-2 second delay to start working on a file. Compare that with Git or SVN where you can just start editing immediately and it's very noticeable.
