Maybe I am a rube, but people bemoaning "complexity" of git just never strikes home with me. I started using it when I was 14, so maybe that is it (it was still fairly new, but it's all I've ever known) - I still only use a handful of commands.

git checkout, git checkout -b

git pull

git merge (mostly to merge master back into a development branch, or something like that)

git push

git restore (much more rarely)

git reset (even much more rarely)

Barely ever have I had to do anything but these for 99.999% of my workflow, and none of them seem particularly complicated unless you run into merge conflicts, but on every team there seems to be at least one pro "merge conflict" guy. Idk. Checkout is occasionally annoying when it forces you to stash unrelated changes to what you're doing, that's about all I can come up with.
