There have been ideas why Git is inferior to its competitors. Yet it
became the leader. The masses chose it anyway. So actually I think the
opposite is true: it's a barrier if project does not use Git (the market
leader).

And few people study multi-hundred-line man pages because it's not
necessary. Yet the features and information are documented there in the
manuals, when one needs.
