No, that is purely do to resistance to change. Git requires a
different approach, and learning new tools.

For a lot of people, that is a barrier that is just high enough for
them to distract themselves with other seemingly more-important
projects.

I'm using Git for everything today, and probably complain about it as
much as I compliment it.

This is the best Git workflow I have seen documented so far:

I still detest Git's stubborn philosophy in being cumbersome enough to
be dangerous and anti-productive unless used exactly as intended
though. Whatever happened to polish and panache?
