[PLUG] Git: net time gain or loss?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I was just struggling with several things that should be simple[1], but 
since it's Git they aren't [2], and I got to thinking (and THAT's never 
good).  Git is blazingly fast, and for the right users it's an awesome 
tool.  But for the wrong users it's a infuriatingly frustrating 
time-suck to do...just about anything.  And I've argued [3] that _most_ 
users are the wrong users.

So...does Git create a net time gain or net time loss in the world?  For 
me it's a _massive_ net loss.

[1] It doesn't matter what they are, they should have been simple, in 
any other VCS I'm familiar with they ARE simple, but for Git I wasted 
over a cumulative hour Googling.
