For what it's worth, I'm typically a sole developer and I use Git. It's not c=
omplicated to pick up the basics, and I find it invaluable to easily create b=
ranches for new investigations or feature development, park new code for a w=
hile if the old (i.e. production) code needs a quick bug fix or new feature,=
 and easily merge branches back into the main code after both have diverged.=
 A more modern tool doesn't necessarily make your life more complicated, it c=
an also simplify work and add to your career toolbox.

My nickel's worth....
