"The fact is, git is better than the other SCM's. And good taste (and C) is one of the reasons for that."

If he likes simplicity and good taste then why did he pick Git over Mercurial? Because he did not implement the latter?

That's not an argument, Bjarne Stroustrup understands C++, does it make it elegant or simple?

If you ask Bjarne, I'm sure he'd have a position that would be based on his understanding. Same as asking Linux about Git leads him to answer: it is elegant and simple.

I think the question is, what makes reality - an individual opinion, or the mass-consensus? This is always a delicate question to ask.
