I would care if a new VCS would make my life easier. This quote from the linked article:
> very few working developers have a good mental model for Git. Instead, they have a handful of commands they have learned over the years: enough to get by, and little more.
...pretty much describes me TBH. I know enough of git to get by day to day, but if I need to do more than that, I have to rely on StackOverflow et al. Which is always frustrating and feels like a waste of time.
- stevage 2y agoI have used git for many years, have over 250 repos on GitHub and have written several blog posts about it. This is definitely me. I will never understand it.
- pc86 2y agoI would try a new VCS if it made my life easier too, but I think my point is just that the quote you posted is not only accurate for most developers, but that there's nothing wrong with that. Having a perfect mental model of how git works is going to be a waste of time for anyone who doesn't want to actually work on git itself.
