Ugh.
Zed, like drh miss the point yet again because they are closed minded programmers and keep on forgetting that people who are not programmers may end up using fossil as they wish to contribute a ticket or documentation to a project running on fossil, but get reluctant dealing with the crappy UI or the fact that they have to learn to do markup. It's also clear that drh really isn't interested in anybody else but his needs.
Git has Junio Hamano who made it usable and practical to people who weren't Linus. Who's this hero in Fossil? Well, it looks like the mailing list is still waiting for them to arrive.
- FraaJad 16y agoIt is a program for programmers by a programmer. And Fossil is a VCS first and and SCM second. The beauty of git lies in what it does and that is managing code. The same is true of fossil. DRH is known for making sqlite and in turn fossil rock solid, and easy to program against. THAT is a far better feature and interface than some UI nitpicking you might throw at it.
- mml 16y agoJust because lots of your buddies use it, doesn't make it useable. Git approaches the useability of iptables, which is to say, utterly unusable unless you have the manpage tattooed on you arm.
