Using syncing as a developer makes sense to me because syncing or backup is not versioning.

Versioning (using git) is about marking state at a period of time. Such that, in the future, you can go back to that important state, and that state means something.

Backup, syncing, they just solve different problems. They might have backups, but those backups rarely mean something. Other than, "well I thought it worked tuesday".

I see this is as "different by design". I want Dropbox to make the same shit show up everywhere. I want git to manage versions and streams of work, often coordinating with other people. Using the dropbox workflow with other people sucks if people make changes (I have to often ask, "hey wait, what did you do".) Using the git workflow to sync with other devices sucks because I have to remember to tell it what to do.
