Git is ... alright, but it doesn't deserve quite as much praise as it gets. I have well over a decade of experience using source control at a fairly high level, and I have experience with a wide variety of source control systems. Git is currently more or less the best thing that's out there in a lot of ways, but it still has a whole shit-ton of shortcomings.

Even when you use git according to the finest shade grown, hand picked, organic best practices available you are still going to routinely run into situations where dealing with git is just a straight up pain in the ass for no good reason. Every source control system has its weaknesses but in some ways git's are even more annoying because so much of the rest of it is engineered so well. It's like opening up the trunk on a maserati and finding a compartment that's lined with splintery unfinished recycled pallet wood and held together by chewing gum, it makes you wonder why it's there and why having some piece that is such a comparatively low quality continues to be tolerated year after year.

Again, overall I think git is pretty great, but the persistent lack of effort toward improving git's core weaknesses is incredibly frustrating.
