| > These CLI tools are generally developed by and for * nix developers. Duh, I know that. But I'm not a Linux developer, I don't want to be a Linux developer, and I still have to use Git. > They prefer making CLI tools for all these reasons, and because it takes much, much less time to write a good CLI tool than to write a good GUI tool. Too lazy to make software properly; gotcha. They wrote about 1/3rd of a good source control program, then just kind of gave up, stopped, and called it "done". > However, you can not expect developers, who work for free, to spend their free time to solve a problem they don't have, for a platform they don't use. No; but I'd expect someone to do it. And it would be nice if open source developers actually felt a bit of guilt or remorse over how difficult their products are to use. > If you want these as GUI tools, why don't you build them yourself? No one is stopping you. I already have a job. My job is significantly more unpleasant because I have to work with Git. Volunteering my time to work with Git more is not appealing to me. |
