@kbob @swetland simple tools still work and can still be understood.
You cant use a tool if you dont understand how it works.
There is ZERO obligation from *anyone* to use these new artificially complexified tools. Programs and tools can STILL be simple.

@f4grx @kbob @swetland yesterday I cleaned up someone's fork of my repo on bitbucket. #Bitbucket is a stupid complex tool, built on top of #git, which is a stupid complex tool. The bitbucket gui has no way of doing a simple clone of a repo. So people do a fork. Nobody knows how fork actually works. It defaults to syncing the fork. That's a stupid complex automatic merge process that is not what you want if you really should have cloned. And when it fails... siently of course... I get to fix it.
