After this many years (and previously using cvs, svn etc) .. I really don't want to switch again.. git is great IMO. There is no way that learning to use git is more difficult than say, calculus or basic algorithms.


Calculus is older and better designed than git, so I don't find it surprising!


Most CS professors at my school do not know how to use git. The department insists that professors use git in the classroom, which is probably a good idea given the ubiquity of git. My professors are forced to try and teach it to students without really understanding it themselves, so it's a struggle for everyone.

Perhaps my professors don't know git because they got their PhD before git was invented (2005), and they never needed to learn it.
