It feels that way, and it's heartbreaking that our entire species ended up locked into a tool with such a horrible interface.
In a way, the git monopoly is worse than Windows or x86 or IPv4, because it's not just a piece of technical infrastructure. Its arcane commands and its branching model have infected all of our brains. You can choose a different editor, you can choose a different operating system, but for as long as we all live, we will never escape the fact that "git reset" does a half a dozen confusingly different operations, or that renaming cannot be tracked, or that most users don't fully understand most of the commands they regularly use.
