From the other side of the mirror, I mean from the position of someone used to git, this comment seem weird.

Git is not hard to use. It is adding a few articulations in your workflow, and they are just allowing you to run faster.

One example: interactive staging with git add -p, this articulation masks it much easier to debug: add print all over the place, try some tweaks, find the one, stage this one snippet, checkout the files, run the test, and you're done.
