I don't want to be able to think the same way people who think Git is a great tool think. If that makes sense.
If I get brainwashed into thinking Git is well-designed or good in any way, I'm afraid I'll completely lose my ability to design quality user interfaces.
- dozzie 10y agoGit with its interface may be rough, but this is merely a superficial trait. The same category as saying that Erlang is fugly because its syntax derives from Prolog. Who cares? It's mechanics and semantics, respectively, that matter. I can whack git repository with a hammer and achieve good, reliable results this way (and I already needed it several times in weird scenarios; I wouldn't get far with Hg under the same circumstances). Pretty much the same case as with Linux OS: all the internals are easily accessible, and user interface is just good enough for me to use.
