I don't buy it. Sure, Excel is a monster (in size and features) compared to Git, but the average user only has to do 2 things to start using Excel: 1) open Excel (or an Excel file), 2) click on a cell. Profit
Whereas with Git one needs to know what a branch is, what a commit is, what push means, to have a remote repo, potential conflicts,... For computer geeks like us, this is no problem, but for people who don't care (don't need to care), Git is all but "straightforward".
- wcoenen 4y agoAgreed. For many people forced to deal with git, the git concepts are just word salad. On two occasions (different people) in the past year, I got in a very confusing conversation with someone asking for help with git, because they kept talking about how they did a "pull request" when they really meant they did a "git pull".
