Maybe just my present frustration, but I spent the day revising the Aider AI editor's code because it barely even works without git. It relies on git just to list the files in a directory, and so turns off most of it's cool features if there's no repo in it.

I fixed it (PR coming) with some simple non-git directory traversal functions, which enables the cool features again.

But makes me wish the dev world knew git alternatives exist.
