Agreed.

But I wonder why there seems to be such a split between people who
clearly have short git-status output, and those who have long git- status
output.

I generally try to work on one thing at a time and keep the status output short -- and I imagine that that's the way most people work -- but there are certain things where long output is going to be unavoidable, like renaming a directory with lots of files in it. And when that happens, seeing only the bottom of the "git status" output and not the top is not what I want 100% of the time.

Doesn't your terminal have the ability to scroll? If my git-status output is longer than my terminal's height, I just hit Page Up to see the top.

Of course it does, but page up won't necessarily take me to the top of the "git status" output; usually it takes me to somewhere before it or somewhere after it.
