"Nobody really understands git" is the truest part of that. While hyperbolic, it really has a lot of truth.
It's always a bit frustrating when working with a team because everyone understands a different part of git and has slightly different ideas of how things should be done. I still routinely have to explain to others what a rebase is and others have to routinely explain to me what a blob really is.
In a team of the most moderate size, teaching and learning git from each other is a regular task.
People say git is simple underneath, and if you just learn its internal model, you can ignore its complex default UI. I disagree. Even just learning its internal model leads to surprises all the time, like the blobs that I keep forgetting why aren't they just called files.
