Windows (and, by extension, most corporate) users are used to both:
complain and suffer. What they cannot imagine is _doing_ something.
It just does not fit in their heads.
A user feels the need to restrict access to some trees in a git repository?
He'll start looking, asking, and maybe even raving about the missing
feature on some official channel. What never occurs to him is just
implementing it. And he'll be outraged if you suggest it (and, yes, it was
tried. The person felt insulted and is sulking till this day)
Besides, it looks like we need them: the stupid, lazy and numerous
windows users. I sometimes ask myself what for did I try to explain
merging and distributed workflow to my peers? The most reasonable
answer so far: so they don't bother me with their stupid work flow.
Don't like it though: people don't like to be called stupid (or anything
they do), and I happen to like most of them anyway.
And I start coding workarounds (the recent is git-remote, why the
hell must it be coded in perl?)
