And the same can be said for other tools we use, like social media. For tools that get widely adopted to the point that many people will be forced to use them even when they don't want to, I wonder if can do better UX-wise to accommodate more use cases.
I suspect the answer is yes, but I also suspect we'll have a hard time actually doing the work to make that happen.

I avoided git for a while (for reasons I won't get into), but eventually I caved into using it not for any of its merits but simply because not using git excluded me from participating in things I wanted to be able to participate in.
I'm not going to bash git here, but I think it's clear that many more people have to use git than have ever been included in the use cases for its design.

I was musing on something yesterday that this post reminded me of:
https://social.jacobian.org/@jacob/112128561253228881
Tools that are essentially networking tools (e.g. git) that provide a set of affordances for people to communicate and collaborate, have a "network effect" that cause people to use those tools even when they would prefer to use something else.
For example, the question of whether many people like git doesn't really matter. Many of us have to use it.

I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates
It means that every post published was important to the writer
Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most
You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

In case you're curious, with minimal tuning via Powertop on the Framework 16:
Display backlight at minimum in X (Radeon driver), active powersave governor (AMD EPP), mostly passive expansion modules, wifi and bluetooth blocked: about 7.2 W. The panel is about half of that. This would make for a bit over 12 hrs runtime.
Active performance governor: about 7.9 W.
Wifi and Bluetooth back on: about 8.2 W.
I can improve on this; I wish more computers had Oxide's power measurement electronics!
