I remembered I posted a joke at Reddit #dadJoke

@ekaitz_zarraga But that reality is not every reality, duh. You pointed to a specific project, leaded by specific people.

I do not find git hostile at all since the basics are... pretty basics. Even more: my problems around git are normally related to people defining processes and workflows following somebody else's guideliness without critical thinking. Hostility does not come from git itself, but from hostile users (in my experience).

@ekaitz_zarraga But again, you are mixing the tool usage with the community/product owners.

Maybe I have a more flexible POV because I never used git in public repositories (never=way too few times) but in private projects. And it shines when you need to design how people will contribute.

Anyhow, if a CVS gives me stash, hashes and simple merges, I AM FRIENDS with it automatically.

@ekaitz_zarraga I am sick of the "supposed ways". We are consenting adults, let's behave accordingly.

The "supposed way" to use a tool is the way it fits you best. Period. You can cherry pick best practices, but you *must* use your head anyways.

I think this tool must be nice for small teams where everyone has the same view about how a project has to be managed. For more flexible development, git seems better.
