Re:Firefox Development Is Moving from Mercurial to Git by PH95VuimJjqBqy on Monday November 06, 2023 @01:13PM (#38166352)
while I'm not a fan of rebase, I don't think it's a design mistake of git. I do think it's a dangerous tool used entirely too cavalierly by a lot of developers.

It's like using an ORM as an abstraction. Someone could build an ORM that took a hard stance that raw SQL should never, ever be used. Such a tool is less useful than an ORM that allows raw SQL but encourages the use of the ORM's facilities instead.
