I disagree, we've been using it with friends of mine and I enjoy it. The main reason is so that's it's easier to generate a changelog as we're following the Angular commit guideline. I would consider Angular a successful project and this is their git history: https://github.com/angular/angular/commits/master

I mean, I've seen it used by larger teams as well. For example Sentry uses it. I've also had feedback from several devs using it in such teams that the whole thing was "bureaucratic bullshit".

That said if you and your friends are happy users of it, I'm glad. I suspect that if you have a small team that knows each other well enough, that is a bit of an extension of a one-person project and it can still remain. I personally have seen the system crumble enough times with even one single user, not to trust it in the hands of two at once.

Well yeah that's exactly this. Tough I've got to admit that it doesn't work that well as we'd like regarding external pull requests since contributors do not all read our commit guidelines.
