> After 5 minutes with Git I don't see how anyone would want to stick with FTP…
You're assuming you're dealing with someone at least a bit technical. To them, FTP is drag and drop, git is either 'hacking' or magic.

There's no reason we can't make a Git client that's as simple to use as FTP, and obscures advanced functionality completely unless a user asks for it. Github's desktop clients still aren't quite this.
I'm sure someone would ask why use Git at all then if you're not going to be branching/merging all the time- but at least then when I (more advanced person) need to come in and fix someone's site, I've got a good place to work from, even if they've always just committed linearly to a single branch.
