It's been a long time since I've used SVN by aren't things like branching more difficult? I guess for personal it doesn't matter.
Not really. If memory serves it's just
svn checkout branch_name
I have never used Git professionally but I'll tell you the three biggest pain points when working with SVN that I know Git has proper solutions.
No local commits. On the latest SVN versions there is the concept of "shelves" which just basically puts your changes in a separate folder... as of last I checked it was still in Beta but it works decently.
Common code is a pain in SVN. The only way you can do this is using the externals property which has annoyances that seem to be handled better by Git Subtrees.
Commit squashing doesn't exist in SVN. Not a problem for me personally but I've worked with some people that make me really wish I could squash their commits.
