I take the view that developers shouldn't be spending their time fixing their VCS.

I use PyCharm. I don't know how PyCharm works internally. I don't even know what language it is written in. I know that it provides syntax highlighting, smart replace, code completion, etc.

Similarly, my car mechanic has a bunch of tools that he doesn't understand in detail; they have interfaces (like a gauge on a pressure sensor).

Progress requires these interfaces, it requires these abstractions, and over time I'm pretty confident that we'll get a better VCS than git that has better, more user-friendly abstractions and it will take over the market.
