No. Subversion is not the problem. Subversion has 3 commands that are used the 
most: checkout, update, and commit. Bazaar has those very same commands which 
do exactly the same things as Subversion. Git has weird things like "rebase" - 
what the heck does that mean? Why do you need to use that over "pull"?

I know I'm not the only confused by Git's commands. I use Bazaar on a daily 
basis, and I use those 3 commands mentioned above, as well as branch and 
merge, which do what they advertise. Nothing complicated about using Bazaar.

Also, if I want to use Bazaar with a Subversion repository, I just checkout 
the repository using Bazaar, and it's Subversion bridge takes care of all the 
cross-version control things.

You might really enjoy using Git, but when I look at it, I see that Bazaar can 
do exactly the same things, with less confusing commands, and is just as good 
in everything except perhaps the speed, where Bazaar is a little slower.
