I use git inside VS, it's fine, I've a few minor quibbles, but all the GUI git tools I've used are a bit shit (tortoisegit, GitHub for Windows).
The built in support for GitHub is fine, so you can stop moaning about VSTS.
Also, you don't have to use azure or SQL server. You can close those tools and, poof, it's done.
One of the more ironic things is that there's a growing dissatisfaction with MS precisely because they're making it more flexible.
Lots of people just want stuff that works with no config, no mucking around with command line tools.
That MS are proudly going 'run dotnet blah' is actually, in a lot of ways, a bad thing. Why can't I just click a button, and why clutter tutorials with lots of pointless command lines?
The 'no hassle, no fucking around with shitty console tools' programming alternative is going away.
