I'm using modern loosely as anything that improves upon the git CLI. Examples being: autocomplete suggestions, sorting branches by most recent, the ability to check out PR's from Github, and auto-fast-forwarding a branch when possible. In addition to some convenience commands like `bit info` and `bit save`.

That's setting modern at a pretty low bar. There are git tools that existed 10 years ago that satisfy that description. "Modern" is a go-to trendy term like cloud or web2.0. Try describing the tool like you did in your response there instead of using a non-descriptive term like modern.

Sadly there are actually people that like useless merge commits.
