git isn't foisted on anyone, although I will acknowledge that if you're working anywhere remotely web-y, you'll be required to use it.
But the vast majority of people I personally see who complain about git simply don't know how to use it, and apparently don't care to learn. They say it's hard, and then they joke about never learning more than three git commands. Can't we do better? Is that where the bar is?
It's not that the basics of git are hard. It's that there are 30 footguns you're forced to deal with every time you want to do anything, just because someone somewhere once had to use one of them -- probably caused by another one of them.
