Just from skimming both lists, most of the time I find lkml to be nicer (and more collegial) to read because it has a better atmosphere than git@ had in the last year or two. And yes, a good atmosphere plays an important role. One of the reasons is that it makes it easier to discern arguments based on personality disputes - which certainly exist on lk - from actual technical disagreements that need to be resolved.
