Easier or not, it is a whole different paradigm (and I don't use that word lightly). I've used distributed change control systems for nearly fifteen years, and could not even imagine working on anything collaborative without the tools that provides.

And I think "collaboration" is the key, and Otto's attitude towards the tools that make this possible, and the developers that want to get involved (ask permission first to propose a change? FFS - open source *does not work like that*), is both astounding, and is indicative of why WordPress is stuck so far behind in what anyone would describe as a modern approach to structuring an application.
