If Pijul becomes popular, somebody will inevitably make it easy to use, so on some level it doesn't matter exactly why Pijul becomes popular in the first place.
- morelisp 5y ago> If Pijul becomes popular, somebody will inevitably make it easy to use That's exactly why it shouldn't become popular because it's easy-to-use. If something becomes popular because it's efficient (git), or has some beautiful core logic (pijul), or because it supports well-integrated workflows (fossil), then it will eventually be that and easy-to-use. If something becomes popular because it's easy-to-use but sucks in every other way, then we are stuck dealing with it for another 30 years.
- webmaven 5y agoMy point was that regardless of why something becomes popular, some people will add it as a dependency solely because of the popularity, even when the original reason for that initial popularity ceases to be valid.
