While Git is not without it's complexities, but as a developer who must use it with teams anyways, I find there are very simple workflows with almost no cognitive load that I'm able to use for my personal projects. Not only does this give me snapshots of my projects from any point in time, but backups as well since I use a free GitLab account as well.
Yeah sure, but for someone who's workflow started 20 years ago without Git, it shouldn't be at all surprising that they kept not using Git for a long time.
There's really no reason to be surprised at all about this unless you're the kind of person who never did any programming before, like, 2010 and lack the imagination or knowledge to understand how programming could be done without it.
I can't disagree with that. We must all make wise decisions with endless competing "priorities" and limited time.
As someone who is on the other side and believes in the value of continuously growing one's skills, I want to convince people that Git has value in learning and using. More tools in our toolbelt makes us more effective craftsmen. Which the DF developer did get around to doing...
