A comment on Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?. Parent comment
You can have both - powerful and user friendly.
This idea that engineer's tools must be a mess that is fine as long as enables to do something is idiotic.
The same argument was repeated whenever C or C++ vs Rust discussions were happening
"Just learn C and memory management (and all the quirks)"
"Just use this new language constructs and you're fine..."
and in reality we ended with a lot of CVEs - 70% in both Chrome and Windows were related to mem. issues.
There's absolutely no reason why git's CLI cannot be better than it currently is. Once again - there is no reason.
Proof? There are CLI wrappers or even GUIs like GitHub Desktop that make whole experience way better.
