It’s like marriage. Yes there are tools that can give you most of the same rights and privileges as marriage, or you could just get married and get all of that for the cost of writing one check and signing some papers. No lawyers. Done. Move on with your life.

The question of optional things is always laid out as if the choices of my coworkers do not exist. Are you expecting me to work solo, or to be a bloody tyrant who pushes through all of my own ideas over the objections of an entire team? These are some of the most antisocial people in any debate on software. No I don’t get to just chose to use or ignore a tool in an ecosystem. That’s why picking a system with batteries included is a simpler transaction. I can go to a new company and have expectations, not arguments.
