Popularity has a circular logic: choose something popular/visible
because is popular/visible, but for some is more about autonomy, instead
of visibility. Pharo and Fossil bring that to me and I think that the
Iceberg way is abstracting git and trying to think critically about its
workflow, which is also healthy and would add more diversity in the future.
Its easy to get lost in the ocean of options but then I will never
complain about having too many options ;) I love too many options.
I was always very vocal about git and github but never had a problem
people using alternatives. In the end what matters is the code itself
and whatever tool we can use to improve code, is more than welcomed
from me.
Agreed. I'm also pretty vocal about diversity, but that includes
popular/visible options, while not reducing everything to it. So yes,
having options is better for healthier communities and the
code/artifacts they produce.
