    Either is a step in the right direction & it’s weird AF that the author is writing this on Microsoft GitHub to begin with. The pull request model is garbage & wastes a lot of time, but both forges copy it instead of offering better review options (specifically those based on patches). My preference would be not even Git which would be in the neither category. Patch models are good & patch order shouldn’t matter which eliminates an entire class of bugs in dealing with version control. Folks should give Darcs & Pijul a look over their DVCS capabilities even if the forges aren’t too polished.
