Everyone starts at the ground floor. What would you tell a beginner who has to figure out 20 different technologies including git to get a basic web project going?
Besides, nobody is arguing git needs to be made weaker, just that it would be nice if it had a more gradual learning curve. Easy things easy, hard things possible. If you can’t see how git is hard you’ve forgotten what it is like to be a beginner.

That's why we have to spend years studying it and earn conspicuously good wages. A basic project doesn't need git anyway.
- gpderetta 6y agoeh, git is perfectly fine even for trivial projects. Agree on the need for education to be a good developer though.

- krageon 6y agoI would tell them they don't need to figure out 20 different technologies. If they think they do, they've missed the point of the "basic" in "basic web project". If the 20 different technologies in your example include such basic things as an IDE and version control (evidently it includes at least the latter), I would tell them to start at the basics and learn the tools before they expect to be able to use them.
