Additionally, it's not that common that researchers get to work forever on their own computers. At some point we all have to move to another PC, which perhaps we can't install things on, or we have to work on a remote machine (e.g. a computing cluster). Git will nearly always be available (although not necessary any version more recent than about 2012), while wrappers usually will not. ________________________________ Founded in 1821, Heriot-Watt is a leader in ideas and solutions.
