I'm too busy to bother with futile gestures. I didn't say you had to do anything about git's popularity. I'm just wondering why you're putting up with a tool that you don't enjoy yourself. It's not very hackerly-ethical to put up with tools you consider bad but you use them just because they're popular. Why not work on improving the tool you enjoy using? - Jordi G. H.
