Git won because it is technically superior (IMHO, but I've used most other VCS only sparingly). It's well designed, flexible, and fast. Apart from a command-line interface with some unfortunately named options and a "big file issue" (that has never been a problem for me), I don't think there is anything wrong with it. What do you think is wrong about it? Or have you only "read a ton" but never used it for a while? In the latter case, I suggest you start with the things I mentioned above, and make good use of "git reflog" as suggested by somebody else. If you know git reflog, "delete tree and clone a fresh copy" is not a thing anymore. > In the FAANG world, there's basically no company that uses Git as-is. It's strength/weaknesses aka tradeoffs aren't good enough for them. Do they use svn then?
