You use words and phrases such as "poisonous meme", "should be fought tooth and nail", "demonstrably better in every way for every foreseeable usage", "dominates"... Strong words.
I said in my comment I agree with the post in that git is "better" than svn. But svn is not that bad that it deserves a jihad of git users that can not stand not having world domination of their fav tool. That is ridiculous.
- loup-vaillant 16y agoSome of my words ("poisonous") strengthen my statements. Others ("demonstrably better") restrict them. I'm aware that the relative power of tools isn't a total order. For instance, I disagree with "git > svn". For now. Therefore, bashing svn and praising git specifically isn't a good idea. But distribution may well dominate centralization for version control in general. I think the article has a point there.
- selectnull 16y agoLike I said, in general, I agree with the message (of the article) which is in a nutshell: git is newer and uses a different paradigm than svn which helps in many ways. Like I also said, I didn't like the tone of the article which was "svn is dead and you should be moving along". I also think the article has a point. I just don't think it was written in most productive (dare I say fair?) way.
