Git has the advantage of being the right kind of terrible. If you only push commits to a branch and use GUI tools like Github or Gitea for merging, chances are you're never going to be exposed to anything more complicated than 'add; commit; push'. Even merging isn't that terrible and while still being painful, git makes it somewhat clear what you want. The problem is; if you want people to use something else, you need to improve over git in the areas that matter to most people (ie, 'add; commit; push'). Git is terrible but just good enough that improvement over that terrible will be hard to accept for the mainstream.
