Still hatin' on git: now with added Actual Reasons

I don't follow this at all. Taking time to learn a new and improved way of managing your source code is a deal breaker? These are exactly the people I'd hope to catch by doing phone interviews. "So, what's the last thing you picked up and learned for fun?... Oh, nothing? Ok, thank you for your time."

The creators of git have created/are creating a modern changeset management tool which, yes, you will have to learn to use effectively. This is a good thing.

New - definitely. Improved... it depends. If you think it's improved, fair enough, but this is your opinion. Not everyone has to agree. For example I think, it's got more features, but is lacking regarding the interface and usability. Overall, I don't consider it "improved" enough to adopt in everyday development.

Not spending time on completely learning how to deal with an inferior (imo) tool, gives me more time to learn things which matter to me. So it's the exact opposite of "learnt nothing".
