Git has many orders of magnitude more users than other VCS's. The assumption should be that you'd find many orders of magnitude more people finding it confusing than other VCS's. Even if the UX was more or less the same. I&#x

You just did though… Maybe try and explain in more than one-sentence quips why you think git deserves its reputation? Otherwise you’re just coming off as a bit of a troll. Have a nice day.

There’s this important word in the sentence you seem to be ignoring: “as” GP isn’t saying “git isn’t confusing”, they’re saying “git isn’t as confusing as people make it out to be” The point being, people exaggerate git’s confusingness when

To me it’s distracting to think about duplicating vs creating an abstraction, because the answer is always “it depends”, which is not really an answer. To me, the question is: can you look at this abstraction and understand why it exists, w

“Great” isn’t how I would describe it. Searching for “delivery” from my inbox, when the third email in my inbox has a literal subject line of “delivery notification”? Zero results. It’s great if you never search for email I guess.
