Again - having used Magit because I heard the same effusive praise - it’s goddamn awful if you don’t like using emacs.

I don’t mean “it’s not my preferred git client”. I mean “I’d rather use almost anything else”.

Why? Because it requires emacs interface, concepts, and controls. And unless you’re ok with those it’s not better at all. In fact it’s _strictly_ worse.

That said: if you like emacs I think you’re correct, it’s almost certainly the best there is.
