Honestly. Unless you're doing some esoteric shit you'll only need the commands for setup which you're best off doing through whatever GUI you're probably using and then 3 commands if you want to get fancy for daily use "Git pull, git merge origin/x, git push" and you're done.

"If you don't use all the useless, unnecessarily complex features it's not that bad"

Then why not just use simpler SC system?

Because the extra features are useful it's just the people who shouldn't touch them because they aren't relevant to them end up doing so and predictably bitching when there's no need to.

sorry but you're just wrong. The git system is overly complex, period. Doing basic things is way more complicated than it needs to be.

A good example to erasing commit history. You can't do it without going through a convoluted 7 step process.

I've been using git for years and I still don't know how to do a basic diff / merge between 2 branches because I have better things to do with my time than figure it out.

A tool like git should stay out of my way and not require me to think about it so that I can focus on the thing i'm actually working on. Git is the opposite of a good tool

It's not, I bet you're the type of strag who spends all day learning cool Vim tricks thinking that it makes you a better programmer.

The only Vim trick I know is how to close Vim because I'm not brain-addled enough to use it.

Complications with git typically emerge when dealing with merging across multiple work streams in a project, not from individual usage. However, these are generally tied to improper change management.

merging across multiple work streams in a project

Fair enough but consider :marseyropeyourself2: if you do this.

Isn't the whole point of git that you can do this? that's why we have decentralized sc in the first place. no?

merging across multiple work streams in a project

Merging yes. The above no. Ideally you should have a central branch, a dev branch if you need one and then all branches off that. Branches off branches off branches is asking for touble.
