I have, and I do. That said, only for maybe 6 to 9 month by now, and in 
that time I might well only have scratched the surface of it, and yet 
much to discover.

But never mind how well I know it, that was never the point. I did at 
*no* time say that git was not good, or could not be useful.

I said that, it is not always the best choice, for that: read on below:

That has nothing to do with what I wrote. And I never said that this was 
not the case. Yes it *can* be very useful for  a single developer.

But that does not change, that there are developers who store their 
projects in GIT, but who do not use the features at all. For such a 
developer it can be said, that even CVS has more feature, than the set 
of features they use in GIT.
This is one case, where GIT was clearly not the best choice. (Assuming 
they had choice)

It is not about what GIT can do, but what a developer makes out of it. 
And also what a developer actually wants or needs.

> then please stop spreading FUD
Read what I wrote, before falsely accusing me of spreading FUD.

> if you actually tried git, you would soon realise it is a vital tool
I tried it, not only did I try it, I use it for some projects.
I still stand by the statement that I made.

I agree, yet there are many IDEs, and for different tasks different IDE 
are better suited
