Git is the best because everyone else uses it.

On the merits, I'm not convinced. One of my most contentious hot takes here is that git is not the end of history

Git is very flexible but poorly optimized for the kind of workflow my team work on and thus has a big tendency to get in the way.

We use git because that's what everyone (the colleagues, GitHub, the CI, ...) is using and there is lots of value in that.

On the other hand, I feel totally free to disregard so called "git best practices" whenever they don't serve us but instead slow us down. git is just a tool, not the actual work we are trying to do.
