I'm not who you replied to, but I think git is fundamentally insane. It's sufficiently opinionated about how it should be used that if you violate certain customs, it can decide to delete commits that you explicitly created. Despite that, it's not opinionated enough to avoid having a ton of subtly different (or effectively the same) ways of doing a thing on the cli. And the cli is an absolute mess of footguns and inconsistent flags.
That's interesting. I've been using git every day for about 8 years, I've never found myself in a situation where I couldn't fix something I broke. But maybe that time will come.
The usual reasons people hate git are directly resulting from that them not taking time to learn it. If you do know how to use it, you will find it difficult to lose any commits. I suppose the way "reset" has multiple and very different uses is a thorny issue for noobs. But if you just read up when you don't remember, you'll be very safe.
