> Git is a corded drill in a battery-powered drill world
Git isn't a corded drill in this analogy, it's an electric motor: the potential foundation of many different tools for different problems. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it would make more sense to use it as the basis of a more complete, ergonomic tool, rather than just sticking a drill bit into the spinning part.
/usr/bin/git is like curl: a command line tool for precise manipulation of an underlying data model/protocol. It's complex, but it works great - if you want to interact with the underlying data model/protocol on its terms. Many people want something that automates a more complex workflow to help them accomplish a higher-level task. For HTTP, we have browsers; for git, we don't have much yet.
