I'm not quite sure what to make of that statement. Do you think the other operating system camps don't use version control or something* ?
*that said, the Linux kernel was maintained at one point as a bunch of tarballs. Torvalds invented git because he didn't feel svn was suitable. Having used CVS ans SVN for longer than I can remember, git feels weird to me, but I'm getting there.
Having recently switch from SVN to GIT at work, I would never want to go back. Especially if using Gitflow.
Branching, merging etc is so cheap in Git
Edit: Can i recommend SourceTree when dealing with Git repos, makes everything super easy
