I don't think that ("superior") is quite true, in the same way that 'world class' and 'best practice' don't have the meaning they hope to convey ;-)

However, what Linus managed to do was to cut the Gordian Knot of the historical versioning systems that had their original designs created in the quill pen era, and are totally unsuited for the modern, high speed computation and perfect replication digital age. Finally, I have control over my versioning system (at least for software)!

In some ways, Git is like the 'Coming of the Railways'. It has brought radical change, but at the same time, confusion, reorganisation and new ways of thinking and working.

*Filip* has accidentally fallen into the attribution trap of blaming the maintainer, rather than having an analysis and reflection on how Git is being used in different user contexts. His user context may have alternate expectations to that of the Linux eco-system, but that doesn't excuse the lack of self reflection.
