Apparently we're supposed to care because there are still some sour-grapes, git-hating Mercurial users who can't understand why anyone would use git. They keep pointing and going "see? this is why git sucks!", but most everyone else has learned how their VCS of choice works and moved on. Meanwhile, Mercurial has picked up history rewriting, which reminds me in so many ways of Apple fanboys who loudly decry Android, then blithely ignore when features from Android get cherry picked for iOS. Use what you like; if you don't have a choice, either change projects (quit) or learn how the tool works. Nobody cares that you think the git UI is "godawful". Nobody cares that you think history should be inviolate. If you want that, enforce it on your project. These "complaints" have been answered multiple times, and if you can't be bothered to look into the reasons behind git does what it does, then don't be surprised when people ignore your self-serving rants.
