They see it as irrelevant until they notice that their "copy/paste 
folders with code" method has resulted in a complete mess and that they 
are unable to restore a previously working version of the code... I know 
people who can't reproduce their research results from 6 months ago 
because they simply can't find the version of the code that they used to 
process the data...

It takes a bit of discipline and time to get used to version control, 
but in my opinion it's completely worth the effort.
