I agree, but that's not even the complete truth.  Git would be not even 
half as useful as it is without its scriptability.

So it is not only convenience, but very much a reason that git development 
is so fast.  That, and that more people than elsewhere let code talk.  
Which is also much easier when you have a scriptable system.
