A number of people have written nicer UXes for git, both CLI and GUI, but none of them have achieved critical mass that I've seen so far.

- pjmlp 10y agoThe critical mass only happened, because it is written by Linus and a must have for anyone working with the Linux source code. I very much doubt it would have succeed if it wasn't for those two factors. As such I would put it on the same basket as C, PHP and JavaScript, regarding adoption vs quality. As for Github, it is just the new Sourceforge, helped by the way they mismanaged it.

- gcp 10y agoIt's again due to the ubiquity. Even if I get stuck in a git UX hellhole, I can do a google search and be 99% sure the top result is a StackOverflow post explaining the steps needed to recover.
