"It's just an interface, though, and this is a tool you are going to use every day..."
This summarized, for me, why I use hg. It is a tool I am going to use everyday and it's not ok for this tool to have a crappy interface. My hard drive space, that I don't care about.
- garybernhardt 16y agoDid you read the end? ;) """ I'm sorry for recommending software with a confusing interface. But you'll be spending a lot of time with it; it's worth getting over the initial hurdle of confusion. """ Note that I call it the "initial hurdle". I know both systems very well, and Mercurial gets in my way far, far more than Git.
- charlesmarshall 16y agonot all guis are made equal, depends which is being used to how good or bad it is. I use gitx on osx (http://gitx.frim.nl/ http://gitx.frim.nl/), other than the lack of a 'push' button its spot on, simple to use and powerful.
- j_baker 16y agogit's interface isn't terribly intuitive, but it isn't that bad. Once you get the hang of it, it makes sense.
- anthonyb 16y agoI really don't follow this argument. git's interface is a giant turd. I've been using it for months, and it still hasn't stuck, no matter what tutorials I read. The normal workflow needs far too many commands and special options, local vs. remote branching seems to do weird things, and the error messages are completely obtuse.
- njharman 16y agoYeah, I too thought the logic of that statement was completely back asswords.
