You are giving me too much credit, and at the same time insulting the
people who polished Git enough to suit their workflow. To them, the tool
has past "experiment" stage long time ago. They found what was lacking
and what would help the need in their workflow. I just have helped them
shape their ideas into a coherent whole.
That does not mean there is nothing missing, still appears experimental,
or inconsistent in the parts of the system that these people do not use
nor care about, and when you bring in people coming from different
background, they will notice the behaviour or default that do not match
their expectation. They can do the usual "scratching own itches" thing
the same way to others who have done before. As nobody forces them to do
so, they can instead keep whining. It's mostly their choice.
Once you've been bitten, and learned to shy away from the sore spot, you
don't really have much motivation to change it. The motivation to
change it would be to make it easier for the next person.
Git clearly doesn't have much of that value in the community culture.
