I'm not sure what the hate here is.
Git was written by Linus Torvalds in reaction to how bad all of the other distributed
version-control systems at the time were.
At an earlier stage the Linux kernel development team were using BitKeeper, but BitKeeper
pulled their free community license after Tridge reverse engineered some of the BitKeeper
protocols.
Linus was very unhappy with all of the other solutions available that didn't meet his
criteria, so he created Git.
It's now become the number one version control system.
So what exactly is it that people are disliking?
Cheers, Wiz!!

I've never used Git except for downloading so I don't know, but why do
people hate it so bad?
