> There's always something 'wrong' with Git because it's incredibly complex. Most developer flows don't require that complexity, but have to pay for it anyway. That's the article.

Nope, that's not it. Sure, git is too complex for any single user or team to effectively use all of its features. That's a consequence of the famous "Everyone only uses 10 (5, 20, whatever) percent of its features -- but it's a different 10 (...) percent for everyone!" dictum.

But this article was a self-contradictory mishmash that showed only that the author doesn't really have any idea what he's talking about. Case in point:

> Dump the decentralized model.

> Pull Request as a first-class citizen.

What would you need pull requests for without a decentralized model?
