alt Hacker NewsMy point to the OP is the same thing I'm saying to you. "I understand the thing and think it's fine" does not imply that nobody who understands the thing can think it isn't fine, or anyone who doesn't like the thing just doesn't understand it.
It's not some deep or interesting idea, but it needs to be repeated any time "git gud" is used as an excuse for Git's UX, which is always.

It's uncanny how a completely different community can have discussions this similar. I wonder if somebody wrote an article like "Git is Dark Souls of VCS, here's 10 reasons why". It could become a hit in both communities (poor potential author, would he even live through that?)
EDIT: I'm doomed. The moment I saw ChatGPT generate this: https://klibert.pl/statics/jolly_collaboration.png ("using GUI frontends is to Git veterans like using summons for Souls veterans") I knew I must write that post; the commonalities are just too funny to pass on :)
So you do just want to complain and simply choose to ignore what I mention about how Git UX makes sure the user has everything they need to avoid these pitfalls. OK, I'm afraid this is just wasting everyone's time. I'm not excusing anything, to the contrary, I'm showing a concrete example of a good UX and point out that there's been more and more stuff like this showing up in Git in the recent years, as it wasn't always like this. But I get it - complaining about Git is basically free karma, so why not just show up and state "I don't like it" or "it ruins everything with glee"?...
