Briefly - because the cons outweigh the pros. Honestly, what does git buy you compared to saving files with version suffixes? 1. cherrypicking - is that really that useful outside of programming? 2. branching - can be done without git using folders 3. merging - can be done without git using beyond compare 4. distributed fs - can be done with dropbox 5. cleaner than having millions of files around On the other hand you would need: 1. to go from your comfy folder/file mindset to the difficult commit tree concept 2. to learn git commands - yes it is a pain in the ass, even for seasoned developers. Especially when in conflict land, git is foot shotgun. 3. to setup a git repo somewhere - also pretty difficult for non developers 4. to learn some ui cause yes, the cli is too painful to use
