> For the first 3 to 4 years, the complaint about Git was it was so different and hard to use. About 5 years ago something changed It's still hard to use IMHO, once you deep dive into it, the complexity start to rise up to the point where a complete reset of the repo is required but anyway "what changed" is that Google Code close and suddenly every svn backed project looked for alternatives, the easiest one being "git" since it has a compat API for svn repos, later Jr's started learning git at school and ditched svn et al and now everyone chooses git for default, not because its great, but because everyone is using it and GitHub exploded in popularity due to "social coding" being the norm.
