      People who are stuck in the old mindset and are going out of their way to use git like if it was svn.

      I’m sure you’ll find some old devs who still prefer CVS over SVN. Don’t underestimate the force of habit. Even in a field like development where you should always update your knowledge and skills, there are tons of people who are very reluctant to changes.

      I don’t prefer it, but I do prefer some things about it. Git overcomplicates certain things and uses bizarre terminology in places. But I’d still rather use Git any day

      Generally speaking, people who prefer subversion spent a lot of time using it before got became the mainstream. It’s not generally been an opinion formed from contemplation but that the workflows are so different that they are having to return source control management from scratch.

      Developers typically don’t want to be told they have to learn a new tool unless it was their idea.
