Nobody is saying Git is unusable, or that it doesn't work, or that it isn't powerful.
We're saying the alternatives are easier to use. You freely admit you haven't used any of the alternatives - you haven't even used SVN from a command line, so you have literally nothing to compare to when using git commands.
- diggan 9y agoWell, I am not saying that nor admitting to not having used anything else. AndrewBissell above did state that though. My only point being, that while git is not perfect compared to others, even if you don't have experience with an alternative CLI, your experience with just that one CLI can be valuable.
- stephenr 9y agoApologies, I didn't notice the different username. However I disagree - when the whole point is relative ease of use, having experience in just one is meaningless.
- diggan 9y agoNo worries :) Yeah, on one hand, relative ease of use is important, especially if you're trying to write a tool to replace others. And I'm not saying that is not important. Just that it's important to consider both, not only one. Compare it to when trying to make a website easier to use. Ok, fine, compare it to other websites too, but your first-timers that have no experience with anything else are important too.
