Unlike you, I actually gave reasons for my dislike of C++, and pointed to 
examples of the kinds of failures that it leads to.

You, on the other hand, have given no sane reasons *for* using C++.

The fact is, git is better than the other SCM's. And good taste (and C) is 
one of the reasons for that.

It has nothing to do with dinosaurs. Good taste doesn't go out of style, 
and comparing C to assembler just shows that you don't have a friggin idea 
about what you're talking about.
