> The 10k tutorials on git might indicate issues with its design, or it might indicate its massive popularity. Hard to say.

It's "hard to say" if you want to ignore the fact that it requires 10k tutorials. Meanwhile, there are 500+ person companies with non technical users using P4 with literally 0 onboarding other than "by the way, undo is broken don't use it".

> I just remember that learning to use P4 required learning a ton of concepts for what P4 thinks your workflow ought to be; learning git has largely just required a simple 1:1 mapping between git commands and the things I do with VCS 98% of the time.

Using P4 is: Download P4V, install plugin for $EDITOR, and double click on a changelist to submit.
