If there will only be GUI, it won't fly. All of the popular VCS-es (and many
of the formerly popular ones) have command line, and for good reasons.
There's too many operations to fit in a GUI.
Then, you set yourself to write for Windows and Ubuntu only. You're forgetting
all the rest of the Linux users (it's quite easy to write something that will
only run on Ubuntu and not on Debian), BSD users, and OSX users. This is
a very bad attitude.
Next, I can't see how this is supposed to work or fit a programmer's workflow,
but it may be just me. I don't see how it would operate with an e-mail client
(or maybe it's supposed to be an e-mail client itself?)

Setting up an e-mail client is a quite complicated thing. Setting up a git
repository is quite easy, on the other hand. I don't see how this is win.
- saltypretzels 10y agoIt kind of looks like you took every statement I made and your only goal was to find a way to disagree with it.
- dozzie 10y agoNow, are my comments valid? If yes, then what does it say about your idea? If no, why?
- saltypretzels 10y agoI don't know what you mean by valid. Everything you said I either disagree with or you actually weren't making a valid argument. I just didn't want to play this game with you.
- dozzie 10y agoSo you basically refuse to explain how you plan to fix any of the holes I poked in your idea. Your call, but don't expect much excitement if you can't explain the idea in a coherent way.
