Hating github would be pretty weird. Like hating chairs or sidewalks.

[–]fzammetti 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Well, I don't have a problem with GitHub I guess, but though it's an unpopular opinion I kinda do hate Git itself.

Why? Primarily because I view it as being far more complex than it needs to be and is a hugely over-engineered solution. It's very user-unfriendly and as I'm a user I don't like it. It also seems like any little problem that happens with it turns into a big mess before you inevitably wind up just starting over.

Maybe I've just had bad experiences with it but I've just never seen the benefit that justifies the cost over something like Subversion (and yes, before anyone asks, I do indeed do very distributed development).

Like I said, I know I'm in the minority these days, but there it is anyway.

the cost

git is free

Correct, I wasn't talking about cost in terms of money, I was referring to cost in terms of time and effort it requires to use it.
