I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the “distributed” mindset didn’t happen overnight.

    Git is ugly and functional.

    I don’t even think it’s ugly. It just works and is intuitive if you bother to understand what you’re doing.

    I think some vocal critics are just expressing frustration they don’t “get” a tool they never bothered to learn, particularly when it implements concepts they are completely unfamiliar with. At the first “why” they come across, they start to blame the tool.
