Comment on Why Git Ain’t Better Than X

Comments

We've been using bazaar at Fluther for a while and I have to agree with the author's sentiment for the most part.

The whole "Git is better" thing annoys me. Dvcs _are_ better, but I think it's mostly a wash between bzr, hg, and git. Yes, bzr is slower here and there (used to be annoying, now it's fast enough that it's a basically a non-issue). The parts I like more than git (though I'm no git pro) is the very flexible work-flow options (we use multiple, and they're awesome), the excellent merge algorithm, and the directory/branch structure, to name a few.

Git is great. So it bazaar. It's all this machismo that bugs me. We should really be on the same side trumpeting why dvcs are better.

I have to agree.

IMO bzr, git and hg are comparable and these dabates are no different emacs vs vim.

My personal preference is bzr but I quite like hg also. I also like git but the only thing that keeps me away from git is the whole fanboy culture around it.
