Is Git the be all and end all of version control?

  Not really, for me it lacks a few key points: - Be really decentralized. To share code between a team without the need of a central repository to hold the shared code. - Be safe by default. I mean, to make sure that a PR done by someone is not a PR done by just a guy that took the same email as me. - Better support of large (>100mb) binary files.

    > - Be really decentralized. To share code between a team without the need of a central repository to hold the shared code. It is. You don't really need to keep GitHub or Gitlab account, you know. > - Be safe by default. I mean, to make sure that a PR done by someone is not a PR done by just a guy that took the same email as me. Nothing does that, not just in the VCS world. > - Better support of large (>100mb) binary files. It already supports files larger than a hundred millibits.

It's not about the size, it's about binary blobs. Git LFS is a band aid for that use case (and IIRC GitHub supports LFS for over a year now).
