Because of the underestimation of the work needed, vs. the advantage of eliminating one barrier to entry. One of the differences in perspective is that Stef sees lots of people new to smalltalk (students) and needs them to get up to speed really fast. The collaboration needs there are different from yours, where you need to deal with long-term collaboration mostly between experts. There is also a significant underestimation of the complexity of version control, and the need to support different workflows. The community members having experience managing complex workflows don't manage to explain well enough what they need. Stephan
