git::mercurial vhs::betamax I'll also say that tech folks don't like not being able to understand something, and enjoy understanding arcane things others don't (and once understood, no matter how hard it was to learn, it is suddenly "trivial"), further strengthening git's hold. I'm happy to see the author seems to understand git well enough to say, yes, I get it, and I still don't like it. I just wish he had talked about mercurial as the plausible user friendly alternative instead of svn, since svn is not distributed and therefor unsuitable for the use cases where git thrives.
