It's open source. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Rewriting git in Javascript seems pretty useless to me, but who knows, maybe it was a fun challenge for the author.

On second thought, it looks like it's meant to be a plug-in for an IDE that's implemented in JavaScript.

I suppose that makes sense, kinda...

It can also enable tutorials and interactive teaching material for git served in web pages.
