Oh, I know your email was not in response to mine Ævar, but I feel I should clarify anyway.

We're glad that our data points about our internal adoption are looking good about Git itself, but that is absolutely not to say that there isn't a lot of room for improvement on Git's UX. I fully agree with how Ævar put it. If anybody had in mind to do work to improve UX, please don't read my previous message as meaning that such improvements would be pointless.

I've been lurking through a number of threads of the mailing list for the past few months, and it doesn't seem to me that UX-related patches aren't getting attention, quite the opposite. That is a great thing, because UX is hard to get right (particularly for powerful tools), and obviously that kind of work doesn't have a finish line. I'd argue those are some of the most interesting threads on here, and I hope people feel reassured that they will be supported through those.
