> Every time I use Git, I see how bad the UX is and marvel at how it ever became popular. It's a tool aimed at technical people, which at the time it was launched offered features and technical possibilities which was unmatched by most other popular source-control systems at the time. I remember going from Microsoft's Team Foundation Version Control to Git, and everything just felt miles more flexible and capable. Especially branching was enormously limited with Microsoft's offer, while Git literally allowed me to merge anything I wanted, across any base, and usually end up where I wanted to be. In short: Git solved real world problems in a way which more than compensated for its somewhat clunky UX.
