I got used to real-time version tracking when I was working on a book. The publisher insisted that the working files are kept in the Box folder (like a DropBox, or any other cloud-shmoud synchronized storage). This was... convenient and practical. This way of working is much better than the Git way if you work alone and produce dozens or hundreds of meaningful changes a day.
But at some point you have to publish. You have to make sure your state is correct to some level of certainty, and share it with other people. So you still need some kind of 'commit' thingie.
I think, Grace gets this both ways right. Personally, I just keep GitHub repos in a DropBox folder, but if Grace catches on, I might consider hoping in.
