Exactly. This seems to be a point that the "Git is easy" crew doesn't understand. Not everyone (in fact, very few) find going into that depth for something that's nothing more than a tool to be reasonable. Reminds me of the Gentoo users that used to say compiling everything is a great idea for an OS.
I find that people understand "linearized" concepts easier than other kinds(DAGs included). When elements are left-to-right or top-to-bottom, you can read what is going on at a glance.
So the next major step in VCS technology will most likely do something to help linearize our views and reduce the tangling that comes into play with any tree or graph structure.
