It's social. People are more likely to actually work with the latest  
code rather than snapshots if getting the latest code is easy. All  
other things being equal, going for the widely supported platform  
seems like a good idea. I have a habit of going for the technically  
superior design and getting clotheslined because everyone's running  
the other way, myself, so though I'm definitely more comfortable with  
command line tools I thought it was worth considering hoi polloi.

Not saying that "all other things" ARE equal, now. I'm not familiar  
at all with git, except by reputation, so I'll take your word for its  
advantages.
