Dave Cutler is the real stuff of legends. Obviously this is my opinion but I admire him and his work far far far FAR more than anything Linus Torvalds has done.
Arguably, Linus' greatest work was Git, not Linux. Linux is, architecturally, a piece of shit! Actually, wait, so is Git. Mercurial does everything Git does and does it far better and more elegantly. So yeah, wait... one wonders where Linus gets all his fanatics from!
Heh, after reading Show Stoppers and Just For Fun, I actually think Cutler and Linus are actually very similar and would potentially get along in real life if it weren't for the epic technology divide.
This is the kind of remark that always gets me downvotes. I couldn't agree more with your opinion about git. I guess the attraction of git comes mainly from the fact that most of its users are too inexperienced to know any better. And then, git makes any old random directory a “repository”. That's waaaay cooler than to have to get a repo from a central server and having to integrate your commits with it...
