On: Why did Git become so popular?

>Using it in your own ivory tower isn't going to impress anyone for the simple reason that no one sees it

Using loaded terms to put down people who use the tool they prefer isn't going to convince anyone that your argument has merit.

Making style points about bland, cliched[1] metaphors adds even less to the discussion. Seriously? "Ivory Tower" (!) is a forbidden term that should be banned from civil discourse?

[1] Now that you've drawn attention to it, I do indeed wish I'd phrased that differently. But certainly not because I hurt someone's feelings...

[papsosouid → ajross]

Who said it was forbidden? Or that you hurt anyone's feelings? Your argument is less effective due to the words you used. That is what I said.
