Not my blog, but the author’s experience reminded me of my own frustrations with Microsoft GitHub.

I was thinking “oh, network view, this is gonna be a good example”, but that comparison isn’t.
What specifically do you think is legacy in that comparison? The coloring? The horizontal layout? The whitespace?
The network view lays out forks and their branches, not only [local]/[local+1-remote] branches.
I don’t know what IDE that miro screenshot is from. But I see it as wasteful and confusing. The author initials are useless and wasteful, picking away focus. The branch labels are far off from the branch heads. The coloring seems confusing.
bg looks like the same
Note: I’ve changed the first link from https://github.com/cxli233/FriendsDontLetFriends/network to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/network. Still the same view, but just a different repo to highlight the problems
I’ll stop here at 10 reasons (or more if you count the dot points), otherwise I’ll be here all day.
Yes, but the others can do that while still being usable.
It’s gitkraken
The picture doesn’t do it justice, it’s not a picture, it’s an interactive view.
You can resize things, show/hide columns, filter values in columns to only show commits with certain info (e.g. Ignore all dependabot commits), etc… Here’s an example video.
You can customise all that if you want.
