This is a really interesting piece that introduced a number of ideas I hadn't ever thought deeply about, particularly in the section on nameless workflow. (I do think of myself as reasonably capable with both Mercurial and Git.)
If your instinctive response is to defend Git, boost Mercurial, ridicule people who can't use their tools, ridicule the tools for being unusable, or whatever -- suppress it for a while and give this article some thoughtful attention.
- cryptonector 9y agoMy instinctive response is to explain why git is easier. TFA is very unfortunate. I think the author is missing out on a better experience, and their git hate isn't helping them.
- Sheeriapi 9y agoLet me suggest to suppress that instinct and read the article again. There's not a shred of "git hate". Quite the contrary: The author is a Git user himself and has detailed suggestions to improve Git and its ecosystem. That is a good thing, not "very unfortunate". Also, Git is easier than what exactly? Than the proposed improvements? I suspect you haven't read the article. This is neither a "Mercurial vs Git" nor a "Git sucks" piece, which you should have noticed while reading.
