I don't care how much porcelain you add. Using git effectively beyond add and commit requires undestanding quite a few concepts. Mass adoption of git in the consumer space ain't happening anytime soon.

It cracks me up that this many years later, you put five people in a room to establish a git branch/merge/release strategy, and you get five very different opinions, and such strong opinions they are.

Luckily, that responsibility is not in my wheelhouse, I just have to live with whatever decisions are made.

So yeah, mass adoption in the consumer space, I don't see that happening.

A revert or a rebase gone wrong and wails of "what happened to my file?"
