Yeah I was just about to ask the same thing! I'm a bit of a luddite, maybe, in that I tend to prefer what I'm already used to -- but I can generally see the other side of the argument. When it comes to git, though, I genuinely don't get what is being proposed as the alternative, let alone why it would be an improvement.

edit: I've see the author's reply, and I guess the original piece was mainly a call to develop better ways of doing things, rather than a claim that they already exist and we should hurry up and start using them. I'd still be interested in more detail on what is fixably wrong with git, though (as opposed to the annoyances that are corollaries of necessary features)
