Stockholm syndrome. I've used Git for 15 years, early GitHub user, etc. Yes, you can solve many of these things, but until recently even things like "I am changing patch 2 in a series of 5 and need to rebase the following 3" were ridiculously painful. This is a common workflow many people like (including the Linux kernel devs) and Git was bad at it.
Git submodules. I'm not even going to go into this, they're so bad. That's a problem I wish Git had never "Solved" to spare us the burden.
There are tons of minor nits in Git all over the place. "Solving" something is completely different from actually having something that can be easily used for your team. There's no amount of contributing Facebook could have done to fix Git, because they'd be turning Git into something else that it fundamentally is not. And it doesn't matter if you have a trillion dollars, it's often not practical to just overhaul someone else's whole project when these goals don't align.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Stockholm syndrome. Is an intellectually dishonest fantasy invented for the sole purpose of using it to discredit and distract from criticism of the actions of the inventor of the phrase, so should never be ascribed as the source of a position you want to argue against unless your intent is to signal that your own position lacks a reasonable argument and you are just choosing to character-assassinate the opposition to cover for that.
