I hate blogs that put pop-ups over part of the content with no way to close them (I'm not subscribing to your mail list or following you).

I don't hate Git but I do agree with many of your points. There's ccomplexity that should be hidden (or more hidden) and there's inconsistencies that still catch me occasionally. I've never actually lost code on Git though it's taken me a while to find my code.

It's also not fair to confuse Github's "Pull request", "Fork" and "Merge" with Git. These are still just branches and merges.
