The chicks are usually quite sane.
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were
talking about the people bringing uninformed pressure to bear, either
direction. However:
1) I'm sure that the "chicks" in programming would be *SO* pleased with
your completely unsubstantiated, sexist assessment. I think I will fail
to pass it on further, thank you very much.
2) While the original poster did make subjective comments about "ease of
use," he also made two very factual comments. The first was about RedHat
/ Fedora being a big user of the implementation language. The second
was about being more able to contribute upstream changes. Given Linus
has already demonstrated complete intransigence even when wrong, this is
a not insubstantial issue.
Finally, you will note that my first line points out that they wanted a
"distributed" source control system. SVN was not mentioned or
considered by them because it does not play in that particular space.
