### Git's UX is ~~terrible~~, uh... not always great.

Learning Git is far too hard. It's almost a hazing ritual that we put ourselves through as an industry. Git forces the user to understand far too much about its internals just to become a proficient user. Maybe 15%-20% of users really understand it. Many of its regular users are literally afraid of it. Including me.

### Grace's UX is much, much nicer.
