I upvoted the post since I think it's a overall interesting technical discussion of git's downsides and some fossil upsides. But my response would be the same as what I argue in these React or other "popular-vs-other-frameworks" discussions that come: the alternatives may be better, faster, easier etc - BUT: - The popular solution has the larger ecosystem, and there are more existing plugins or modules you can plug-and-play instead of having to build out your own solution for. - If you hit any edge case or obscure issues with the popular framework, someone somewhere on the Internet has hit it and it's likely a QA on Stackoverflow / Reddit and similar (and hence ChatGPT and other LLMs as a result) - People understand the popular solution more in depth and it's easier to learn about the architecture as well as its pros and cons.
