@silvermoon82 Sadly, yes.

Also, I think there's a LOT of Stockholm Syndrome.

"I've invested SO much time and pain learning this tool. Therefore, I must be 1337, and because it proves I'm worthy (& other people struggle with it, therefore proving I must be better than them), I will defend this tool to my death."

@jhulten @sidawson @silvermoon82 No, the guy who wrote the kernel wrote this because his favorite tool became unusable for political reasons, so he made an open source version of it. Nobody ever claimed that git was a good SCM. It was only ever designed to fit the linux kernel's needs. Nobody else was ever considered. Hence it surprised a lot of people that so many projects switched to git, thus adding complexity that they didn't need.

@sidawson @silvermoon82 the sunk-time problem is such an easy trap to fall into and so hard to leave
