I'm assuming the author recently discovered fossil, but it is an absurd statement regardless :)

I've sort of wanted to use fossil for a real project of my own, but its own idea of workflows just... puts me off completely. I stick to Git. Git won the minds of developers not because it was first (by far, it wasn't), but because it's better than the rest.
