I can definitely relate to that, and I'm actually quite fond of git myself. I just never expected that people would stop trying to make a better version control system. That's not entirely fair, a lot of work has been invested in Pijul and Fossil, but I would have expected much more interest in alternatives. I remember all of the reasons Git was so new and exciting at the time, but now it feels like we're all locked into it, not out of any deliberate attempt at vendor lockin but out of complacency, and because fewer and fewer of us still remember a time that it felt possible to invent a better version control system.
