It's fine. It works. But it's not intuitive.

A decade of near daily use of it, as the 'git guy' on most teams I'm in, and I'm still spending time searching how to do specific things. To use a UX term, there's very few affordances telling me what I should expect, guiding my intuition.

Imagine a VCS where it was obvious and easy to figure out how to do anything that is possible. Along with all the power that git brings today.

Seems like that's been done pretty well with all the wrappers, tui and gui's available.. what else is needed?

All the things built on top are limited to the things their creators decided were needed. They'll never be as powerful as git itself.

I want a successor to git that provides as much or more power but with the intuitive usability.

Is that so much to ask? (I joke)
