Another fan here. I am a terminal user so Git is 100% CLI for me. Maybe this has helped me learn it to a level where I feel confident with it. I was the sole Git CLI user in my longest role and I tended to be the 'git fixer'. I agree it has sharp edges (like a lot of things, though) but I'm happy to be adept at something powerful and useful. It's a transferrable tool across pretty much all stacks so it doesn't feel like a pointless investment.
I think it's biggest problem is that it is not intuitive at all for people who use it for not a long of time. (and I'm saying it as someone using git for more then 10 years :))
Let's say hypothetically you were teaching git to a group of 30 high schoolers. 25 of them struggle to grasp beyond a few commands and 5 of them do ok with it. As king for a day, what would you do to simplify git so that as many of those 25 kids as possible could become proficient with version control? Or would you just push forward with the 5 kids and tell the other 25 to find a different path in life?
I would like to know what your specific issues with git have been. Certainly they must to be substantial and well documented to warrant expressing such an arrogant opinion.
