I disagree. I think the commands are intuitive and work perfectly for the system. It's very expressive, but it all makes sense once you've learned it.

git is a tool. Different tools take different amounts of time to master. People should probably spend some time formally learning git just as one would formally learn a programming language.




Other version control systems don't have this problem as much.


And where are they now? If you're not using git as source control at this point, I wouldn't even consider downloading your project.



Git succeeded in spite of its CLI, not because of it.


It's a good point: just because an entire product won out doesn't mean that every single one of its features was individually superior to its competitors. This is definitely not true for git.


That's roughly the same as saying that you won't eat the food prepared by a chef if they don't use your favorite brand of knife. You've diminished the value of your previous comment substantially with this one.
