Gerrit is the reason I rarely submit MediaWiki patches back to the Wikimedia Foundation. Gerrit is a giant pain to use, has a terribly designed interface, and requires a command line plugin that makes it trivial to screw up patch reviews. I can not ask other developers on the team here to do it either since I can not justify having them hours just to learn how to not screw up using Gerrit.

The git-review plugin is not required, you can instead do `git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master` to push changes for review and use the snippets from the change's page to pull them. But it's easier to do `git review` and `git review -d` instead, and it doesn't require understanding or memorizing the weird push command. (I work on MediaWiki, by the way.)
