Is it really so hard to imagine a tool that takes some thought to use?

I didn't know how to use a welder just by looking at it, but the UX is fine once you know the concepts behind welding.

I honestly can't see how git could be easier given the requirments of the tool. If you want to reduce its capabilities because it's too hard then go ahead, but please fork it or make something new instead of ruining a perfectly good developer tool.

I do find the division between git seems to be really concise. Either people don't get what the fuss is about or they think git is just the worst.

If you're curious how it can be done (IMO), take a look at https://github.com/martinvonz/jj. It's its own VCS but also compatible with Git so individual developers on a team can migrate to it.
