With most software in general, we usually think the very definition of "easy to use" is "a high portion of users and potential users find it easy to use."

Somehow with git, lots and lots of developers (and non-developers too, but let's just consider developers) can show up and say "i've been writing code for years, i've been using git for years, I get by, but I find it pretty confusing and hard to use," and still have people saying "no, you're all wrong, it IS easy to use."

Like, how is that even logically possible? To insist that software really is easy to use even when a large number of people don't find it easy to use, is an interesting metaphysical stance.
