This is cool. If anything though, i'm more intrigued by Pijul haha.
I use Git day to day simply because it is the defacto.. but i have never liked it. I've longed for a better dvcs. Granted, i'm not sure i'll ever get it, but seeing new attempts is always appreciated.
edit: It should be noted that in my case above, "better" simply means more intuitive. I'm not complaining about Git either. But, it has a history of not being intuitive.. i think we can all agree there. That's all i mean.
That reputation was developed in the early days of git, back before git added many of the usability features it now has. Today, mercurial isn't any more or less friendly; it's just a different model, which might or might not fit better with anyone's particular preferences about DVCS behavior.
False. Git has improved, but Mercurial is still more friendly. The thing git has going for it is so many people use it and there is lots of help just a google search away.
I found mercurial's command line to be a lower hurdle coming from previous experience with CVS and subversion. But that was several years ago and I haven't kept up with mercurial for a while.
Now I use git, and it still confuses me and I just rely on the magit frontend in emacs to do what's right.
You don't have to apologize or hedge when criticizing git (even though it seems like everyone else loves it). Just let it all out. It'll feel better :-)
