I never got my head around using Vim rather than an IDE, but I can say I genuinely enjoy git. It's very easy to get a lot of value out of it without needing to learn the esoteric details by just keeping to a simple workflow planned out by someone who understands it better. Of course, it was the first version tracking system I'd worked with, so I have nothing to compare it to. It just made me incredibly happy after working on a very large system with no version tracking beyond a boatload of comments referencing a date and ticket/project.
- blakeyrat 10y agoI guess different strokes. For me, Git is the worst software I've been compelled to use since Lotus Notes. I think it's terrible. I would never use it if I didn't absolutely have to as a condition of employment.
- bryondowd 10y agoInteresting. I wonder if it's a usage difference. A hammer can be a terrible tool if you try to put in screws with it. It works best when the workflow is designed around it and the user only needs to remember a handful of commands to do specific tasks.
