There was a time when a VCS could just be a slightly better VCS and it could probably gain traction.
But now, for both better and worse, git is no longer just an app or a tool, it’s just a fundamental library and protocol that IDE:s, Build systems and project/work management systems build on. It has become almost too late to change.
The semantics of git are “ok”, but mostly it’s just a big leap ahead of cvs and Subversion. As always in any git thread we’ll see people (including me) expressing hope that Pijul will one day be successful enough to break the git monopoly.
