Yes, we all know it has some rough edges and could be more convenient. Unless someone actually makes that idyllic more convenient tool and it becomes widespread, none of that matters. We're stuck with the hammer that everyone else is using. No sense refusing to learn how to use it just because you're stubborn, everyone else managed just fine.



Well no, that's not the case. In fact many projects (gitless for example) clearly show that a consistent UI for git is possible, but unless git developers decide to rework the tool completely, we are stuck with what we have. And no, using a 3rd party tool and convincing every team that gitless is better is simply not going to happen. The way out is for someone to swallow their pride, admit they did a half-assed job and fix it. Not holding my breath though.

I say that as someone who uses git daily, who has learned git internals, who uses cli almost exclusively, who helps the teammates out of their git problems and who still hates the cli inconsistencies.
