> How do I know that Git is too hard to use? Because there are literally thousands of blog post tutorials explaining how easy Git is to learn. Things that are easy do not need thousands of different guides telling you how easy it is.
I'm not sure that's convincing. I think that a lot of guides about how easy it is indicate that it's slightly difficult to learn. That results in a lot of people struggling for a little bit, overcoming the struggle, and feeling a sense of accomplishment and enlightenment, which they then want to share.
(There's also a difference between how hard something is to use and how hard it is to learn. I'd argue that there's often a trade-off to be made, where some sacrifice on difficulty learning results in a reward in ease of use—in the sense that, for example, vim is far easier to use than any other editor for a seasoned vimmer.)
