Disclaimer: I love git, it is by far the best version control system I've used in nearly 25+ years.

But, his point is objective, so he doesn't need to provide subjective proof to you.

Do lots of people find git confusing? Yes. It is a very common view.

Therefore, based only on observed evidence, we can pretty confidently say that git is confusing. Is it as confusing as something else, or as confusing as the reputation? We can't tell, because those are subjective opinions.

The statement "it isn't as confusing as people think" is pretty meaningless here, because you can only judge from your own frame of reference. If it wasn't as confusing as people think, why do they think it is confusing? Are they all stupid?
