I'm going to say this again and take the downvotes but it's comments like this that generally come from people who don't get git.

git is not the same as those other pieces of software mentioned.

git's default workflow encourages lots of parallel work and making tons of branches (which because of bad naming are confusing because git branches are not what other software calls branches) .

it's a fundamental difference and has increased my productivity and changed my work style for the positive in ways what would never have happened with CVS, svn, p4, hg, etc... all of which I used in the past for large projects.

If you're using git and your mental model is still one of those other systems you're doing it wrong or rather you still don't get it and are missing out.

I'm not suggesting the UX couldn't be better but when you finally get it you'll at least understand what it's doing and why the UXs for those other systems are not sufficient.
