> once you have to do anything more complicated than just commiting/merging If you really have to do more complicated things with git.. why? I mean that seriou

  It depends a little on how you use git. Apart from stashing (git-stash), I use interactive rebases a lot. Combined with autosquashing it's a very powerful tool to ensure a somewhat nice history. Of course, this only matters if you care about your history. It feels like there are two camps of git users: One camp squashes every MR/PR together even if it's huge, hasn't heard of git-bisect, creates plenty of merge commits in both directions, and piles unrelated changes into a single commit. The other camp cleanly groups changes into self-contained commits, rebases often resulting in a clean patch-series-style MR/PR, and likes to use git-bisect.

    This observation about the two camps rings very true. The sad part is that while the second camp is the original user base of Git, at least GitHub basically acts as if they don't exist and only really caters to the first camp.
