A Guided Tour of emacs-git

Re:A Guided Tour of emacs-git by mechanical_fish on Thursday September 09, 2010 @11:45AM (#1675741)

I use "magit" for emacs; for the stuff that I don't find easy to do in magit (or that I don't remember the magit workflow for) I use the standard shell commands (also inside emacs).

I only skimmed this, but I didn't see anything here that would make me switch from magit. It looks like a matter of personal taste to me. Did I miss something?

The maintainer of Magit is an asshole.

Note: philjackson is the current maintainer of magit, which is anyway a fine and useful project.

I've recently moved to egg, a fork of magit with a very readable UI.

Egg is great, I'm not trying to poach you as a user, but you should give the key-groups branch of Magit a try. It has similar discoverability semantics as Egg but with more functionality.

Whoops, I downvoted you before I got the joke. Sorry about that!

I can't even figure out if I should upvote or downvote. Oh, the perils of reverse SEO as a form of entertainment! ;)
