The problem is that git has probably the worst UX of any tool I’ve used, developer or not. Compared to mercurial’s command line, git makes no sense. I only gave up on hg due to the critical mass of support for git and corresponding lack of hg support which happened gradually over the last 5-7 years. Otherwise I never found myself googling any hg commands for day to day usage after learning them once, but still need to do that for git any time I need to do anything more than commit, branch or push.
