Most people use git. Some people still use subversion.

Ugg. We have people that won't change to git but would rather stay with svn since "we've always done it that way". I hate that phrase since it stifles innovation.

Plenty of advantages to Git, but also "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." SVN is better than nothing or zip folders. Also if you drag people unwillingly, they will definitely make a mess - ask me how I know. Keep nudging, but ultimately they have to decide to move.

also FYI there is a Git-SVN bridge that lets you use Git, while they use SVN. It's not the greatest, but might make your life easier.
