In reply to Samuel "Otto" Wood.

> I think the basic problem here isn’t the difference between git and svn, but that people don’t fundamentally understand version control in the first place. Honestly, I blame Github. Github makes people stupid. Yeah, that sounds right. ;)

And you find it strange that people are saying that the WP Core Dev team is arrogant and doesn't listen to its users and slams the door in the faces of people that actually would love to become part of something bigger?

Really Otto/Samuel this is a great example of how to piss people off. Get off your almighty high horse and get down to earth! Just because you have a few more years of coding under your belt, doesn't make you better than anyone else.

There are plenty of developers who fully understand the importance of version control. You just need to learn to accept the fact that there are people around you, breathing the same air as you do that might have a different opinion than you. And if someone says that he/she finds SVN difficult to use, then you don't have to blame Github for making people stupid. Instead you should try to see it from another perspective.
