You wrote bitkeeper? Well of course you are biased against Git - it was basically Linus's middle finger to your business model

There's no need to get personal about it.

Didn't intend for it to come across as personal, just pointing out that it would be very hard to make unbiased statements about git when you have a dog in the fight.

It would be like the Myspace founder/creator badmouthing Facebook and claiming Myspace was still superior and that Facebook's way of doing things is insane. Whether or not the claims are legitimate is irrelevant in light of the fact that your competitor squashed you and may have made you bitter.
