Git is incredibly mediocre. But it's all most people know. It's a version control tool that can't handle binary files; and no GitLFS does not count. The end result is a version control tool that is unable to actually version control all the things you need for a project.
This results in a Meta VCS layer where a ton of critical assets are stored in Docker files and other misery. If you want to re-compile a project for 2015 then good luck and god speed.
Personally I think full toolchains belong in source control. And that you should be able to clone / materialize a repro, yank your network cable, and build. This is how big tech monorepos work. It is TheWay imho.
Please universe I beg you.
