Isn't it obvious? Write better tools. There is no reason you have to be stuck with the deficiencies of what someone else has built. That's the whole point of open-source software.

It's more than a little concerning that a "GitHub cofounder and author of several Git books" has to have this pointed out to them.

There is a concerning trend of "we only use vscode" and popular preference shifting to "adjust to popular tool" rather than "use best tool".

This means sadly things like GitHub start to define git even more for your coworkers.
