That seems unnecessarily harsh.

I find the built in controls with visual studio supremely convenient.

After using git init --bare for the remote repo I use the built in git controls for branching and switching out as well as syncing and pushing. Why not, the button is right there and it’s literally faster.

Then again, isn’t that what people used to do with StackOverflow?

Yes, one of the major issues with StackOverflow that answerers complained about a lot was the “XY problem.”.

https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem

Where you’re trying to do X, but because you’re inexperienced you erroneously decide Y must be the solution even though it is a dead end, and then ask people how to do Y instead of X.

ChatGPT drives that problem up to 11 because it has no problems enabling you to focusing on Y far longer than you should be.
