I rather like git.

I definitely like git better than the other source control systems I've used: PVCS, MS-Delta, MS-SourceSafe, MS-TFS/TFVC, RCS, CVS, Subversion, Source Depot, and Perforce. (I've not used Mercurial, but from what I've heard about it there is a good chance I'd like Mercurial better than git.)

I'm not a git-guru. I often have to ask git-gurus how to do things. Sometimes those things are what I'd consider easy, but I'm stymied. Sometimes those things are hard, and I've no clue. Regardless, the git-gurus show me how to do these things, both easy, and hard. Kudos to the git-gurus, and their willingness to help the clueless like myself.

I'm sad that the one git graphical interface I've found — which works the way I think — seems to have become abandoned a few years back. Cycligent Git Tool. /sadpanda

On Facebook, one angry south pole elf said this about git...

Git makes simple things hard,
makes difficult things impossible,
and makes dangerous things easy.

I understand where he's coming from. I don't share the anger, but I do understand, and I cannot begrudge him his anger.
