    GUI users = low skill ✅

    Majority GUI a weak subset and of little use ✅

    Elitism ✅

    Of course, this is all couched in “use what you like”, and top it off with a general sentiment of how this post is all but useless.

    If someone has to ask you for your git fu help the problem isn’t GUI use it’s the incompetence and/or inability to solve it yourself. Implying a strong correlation of the two is where I take issue.

    My personal experience? A built in GUI saves you so much time like the one in JetBrains IntelliJ, if I need something more use case oriented that is more than the core fn (intelliJ’s does not simply include fetch/push/pull, but much more including everything in the graphic) then I click terminal tab and do what I need. Similarly the git tree provides an immediate view and context of the branches, changes, tags etc.

    It’s almost like filtering people into GUI and CLI boxes doesn’t really work.

    Absolutely, well put!! It’s honestly sad in my eyes

    I’ve given up especially when it comes to Linux vs Mac on the topic of open source. People will have such a violent reaction that they cannot possibly consider Apple as anything else but the literal antithesis of open source.

    if you think Apple has a place in open source, you’d be right, but you’ll also get attacked for it because Apple bad.

    Only a handful of months ago Apple released open source AI models that run on-device.

    It’s so obvious over many years that Apple has always gotten their hands dirty in the open source world going back to even before the birth of OSX, both with use and contributions, yet this is stomped out by the notion of expensive and elitist Apple could never and would never actually bother contributing to open source codebases
