No, we need the power that git offers us for scaling workflows and contributions to large ecosystems. Software does not get less complex over time, but more complex - and we need a system to handle contributions to a complex system (read: large, distributed, multi-thousand developer/files codebase)!

git is as simple as possible while being as powerful as possible.

What we need is better education! Not only how git works, but also how clean and scaling development workflows work. I've seen too much "Lets just copy the code to the production environment"-workflows in my live already and I do not even have 3 full years of professional experience as a SW dev!

This is far from being a foregone conclusion and would need a careful analysis to justify. FWIW Fossil manages to make do without Git's (insanely named) 'index' (what everyone calls the 'staging area').
