APFS snapshots for Time Machine suck so much. They take up a ton of disk space and TM's GUI is horrible, it will just sit there syncing for forever with nonsensical time estimates. Then, once it finishes syncing, it will _eventually_ clean up those old snapshots. I've considered dropping TM completely because of this and sticking with just Backblaze and CarbonCopyCloner instead.

If I exclude my git directories (one of the most important things on my computer) then I really don't see the point of using TM at all with the other backups I do regularly.
