Every single time there's a thread on HN about the issues with Git, it doesn't matter what, there *will* be people jumping in defending it as "it's not that hard, you must just not have taken the time to learn it".

And the fact that such vast swathes of developers, including highly experienced ones, continue to find it unintuitive and unpleasant to work with, *somehow* doesn't register to them as a signal that maybe the problem is actually with Git itself...

I really don't understand people who behave like this. How many people need to complain about something before you're willing to concede that maybe there's room for improvement? Why are you so invested in insisting that it's perfect?

Possibly sunken cost fallacy of them not wanting to learn something different

@me But that's the thing, though? The best way to ensure that would be to push for change in Git itself, improvements to the unintuitive stuff, so that people don't walk away and abandon Git?

@joepie91 pushing for a change in Git is impossible considering that it's Linus' brainchild.
