A version control tool shouldn't take YEARS of usage to be productive, to me that's a red flag. Some engineering tools are just complex because what we're doing might need that flexability so the tools provide a myraid of options or workflows.

But writing software, tracking your changes, being able to back out your changes and getting your changes integrated into a code base should be as low activation energy as possible to be productive.

But again, git wasn't created for "you and me", it was created by one guy for his project, the fact "mere mortals" are using it is kind of our fault.
