Why I Switched to Git From Mercurial

Gary Bernhardt:

Mercurial’s repository model is clunky and stays hidden in the background (this is a bad thing; don’t let anyone tell you otherwise). If you have a Mercurial repository whose size is dominated by a single, 20 MB directory, and you then rename that directory, your repository just doubled to 40 MB. This has limited my ability to manage real-life Mercurial repositories. Git’s repository model is so good that I only hesitate slightly when calling it perfect.

John Paczkowski’s Interview With Adobe Co-Founder Chuck Geschke

John Gruber:

I can’t tell whether Geschke is being dishonest, or whether he truly is under the impression that Mac users don’t have serious, long-standing complaints about the quality and UI design of Photoshop (and the entire CS suite). And Acrobat? Acrobat is despised by Mac users. If not for Apple’s Preview (and Mac OS X’s Apple-written PDF implementation), Mac users would despise the entire PDF format.

Indeed, I didn’t much like PDF files until I started using Preview.
