You do have some very valid points, and git can be confusing. I wonder if those points are more confusing for someone coming to git from some other VCS than someone using git as their first VCS. My 13 year old son got the idea of Git after seeing a diagram like this: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/book/01-introduction/images/areas.png http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/book/01-introduction/images/ar... So it is confusing, but I think it can be taught for very basic use.
