Why do you love it?
It looks like you've described a tool with 1) a terrible UI, and 2) trains users to use commands that will eventually cause them to lose unsaved work.
- littlestymaar 4y ago1. git has a terrible UX (not UI), including destructive actions without warning and much more really cumbersome things for newbies to learn about 2. once you know it enough, git is a powerful tool that I really appreciate. 1. and 2. aren't contradictory. And I would love git even more if the UX wasn't the dumpster fire it is, but I happen to know enough of its bad UX to be able to do what I want with it. Also, unlike the average git expert on HN, I still recognize that the UX is shit, and that you should need to spent as much time as I did in order to be able to use it at all. I'm really annoyed when people argue that a bad UX is in fact good because of some elitist reasoning.
