He should not complain, but write a better user interface. The underlying functionality and performance of the implementation is excellent. The user experience is poor, it took me several years to get really fluent. There are still things I know I don't know and some occasional surprises. The repos are such a success story that they won't go away for years. But if someone came up with a more consistent user interface that would not harm. It's a huge job though, if you want to cover the full functionality. And if you don't do that you will create a new inconsistency, because power users will sooner or later need to fall back to the current user interface.

- usr1106 6y agoThe problem is that it requires an exceptional SW designer to design a good interface for git. The internal model of git is exceptionally well designed and maintained by much better than average hackers. They master the crude UI concepts we have today and obviously they don't care. It's free and open software. So everyone working on it does what they like. Obviously no one has volunteered to write a great and consistent front-end. At least not successful enough that users would know and use it. But shouting that no one volunteers as the orginal twitter poster does makes just no sense.
