Not really. The Git maintainer is a friend of mine: we worked together for many years building mostly-proprietary software. He's one of the best hackers I know. Git in part uses implementation ideas that I was using before Git was a gleam in Linus Torvalds's eye. So I make no pretense of being impartial here. Nor do I use Git merely because "everybody" else does.
I partly use Emacs for the same reason I use Git. It's free and reliable and efficient and supported by hackers whose judgment I trust.
