How about now :) Rust and C++ are complicated languages, and that's bad.
But git isn't complicated. Git is a handful of simple ideas composed in interesting ways. It looks complicated because there's a lot of porcelain commands with a lot of options, but all of them are just manipulating the same simple internals which, once understood, are clear and intuitive.
