> I also see this from people who are using VCS, but that's mostly because they are overcautious and/or have not really gotten "warm" with the VCS. I think that's partially because many developers will "learn" a VCS when working on a school project or hobby project by themselves. For a personal project, often all you really need is dead-simple versioning, and even then you may complete an entire project with just a linear series of commits on a single branch. It's easy to avoid really learning a VCS in that environment.
