It's perceived as not much of an issue, AFAICT, because people feel that using good editors will save you most of the time, pre-push hooks will prevent everyone from actually polluting the central repository, and it would be easy to install pre-commit hooks locally to get an early warning. ISTM that the remaining problem space is a high level of automation that some Windows developers desire, that they got from SVN, but that is quite small because there's a bunch of mitigating factors. It's perceived as a regression, and as making Windows developers second class because most of the issues won't come up on other systems.
