I’ve seen a lot of pro-#Fossil, anti-#Git discussion recently.

Not that I love Git, but it does the job and almost all deployment platforms have support for Git only.

And, am I the only one who needs a staging area because I have to commit only a part of my changes? Often even line-based.

And, sometimes I want to squash 20 ugly commits into a single one, destructively changing the commit history. Really!

And, sometimes I need a hosting platform for a project and there is not a single serious one for Fossil. What’s the point in using Fossil when I have to do a Git-export?

And, most importantly, there is #Magit :blobcatmeltlove:​.

So … although I can feel the love for Fossil, it simply doesn’t work for most of my use cases.
