In terms of usability I think it is.The whole point of the quickstart guide
is to get users up and running as quickly as possible. For their first toy
project people probably will not care about the customization that giter8
offers.
Most importantly adding the requirement to go to some website that asks you
to curl a script and pipe it to bash (which is something this commit actually
fixes on the Flink side) to install *another* tool (Conscript) that will let
you install the original tool is too much effort for a *quick*start guide.
So I vote for the `git clone` default, with giter8 as an option.
