What happens if he isn't using Linux everywhere, but wants to coexist with other operating systems? "All the world is X, or should be" is reprehensible, even if you agree with X. Besides, git or hg requires extra work to "centralize" the common repository, which isn't always what you want to do. (Of course, if the alternative is RCS, that particular criticism goes away...) IMNSHO, worrying about "one less app to learn" smacks of monoculturalism. :-P -- By that logic, the only "app" you would ever learn would be emacs.
