Why should he have to? It's irrelevant to the point he's making, since a tool being conceptually difficult is not the same thing as it having footguns.

But the tool is not conceptually difficult. All the difficulty of git is in the trap its "UI" creates for no reason. The concepts are easy. I taught Darcs to a frontend/flash developer 15 years ago, and it's not because I'm a great teacher.
