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.
