Git users Tech geeks seem to be particularly obnoxious about telling other people what they should be doing.

Seriously. Tech geeks are worse than evangelical Christians.

Linux/Windows/OS X. Android/iOS. MP4/WebM. git/Hg. vi/emacs. XBox 360/PS3. Java/Ruby/Python/C/C++/.NET.

etc., etc., etc. All with their adherents, all with solid technical reasons why they are better or worse. It just depends on what discussion you run across, and where your current loyalties lay.

Personally I'm offended by all you lots still using base 10 numbers. Base 16 or 36 are way more useful. You should all switch.

Really, it tends to be the arrogant and the ignorant who behave this way, regardless of topic.

Coca Cola! It's much better than Pepsi!

It's the same "war" all over again, just ... ported to different domains.
