For decades Microsoft pushed forward a too much complex graphical UI for servers, including that idiotic, touch-centered Metro for 2012 servers...Now it is command line for everyone?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Don't worry....
It's NOT UI vs console, it's UI + Console nowadays!

Does it means that Novell NetWare console apps were not so bad after all ?

I can't think of any time that they've forced an OS-level upgrade on people. Sure, they've made it so you couldn't get any work done without upgrading (from 9 to X), and crammed truly, phenomenally stupid app upgrades on people. But I don't know if they've ever done some of the stuff the Windows team has been doing lately.
It's been such an "own goal" on their part. They really should just be showing people 10 more - it's a pretty good upgrade. It shouldn't need to be forced on people.

True enough, I can't think of a compelling reason to upgrade from 7. I was on WEight, so there were fixes needed

When I say that Github captures the zeitgeist of the programmer world of the 2010s, I am thus saying that Github is at the absolute core of the software development universe. Because people *really* like resolving merge conflicts

While I've never taken advantage of the feature, others have touted the greatness of being able to work with branches while disconnected.
Pull requests are useful, especially in open source projects, where 99% of the contributions are things you want to reject rather than having automatically folded into the branch.
GitFlow is the technical "solution" to the technical problem that Git created -- how to work in a disconnected, multi-branch-verse project. And it itself is a nightmare. I've seen developers create a branch for a single line of code, issue a pull request, accept the request, merge it into the main branch, and then delete the working branch.
I think this comes from the fact that Linux users start suffering psychotic episodes if they don't do something on the command line at regular frequency. It's like a drug, and the withdrawal causes all sorts of howling agony and shouting like "I will never use an IDE" (yes, I have actually heard that.)

I've found that many of git features exists to overcome issues created by git.

That sounds painful. Perhaps a couple of aspirin (but don't call me in the morning!).

Quote: At the time Github first started attracting notice, centralized version control schemes were the standard, and when you were somewhere the source control server wasn’t, things could get painful. I remember using a tool called Rational Clear Case that was setup in such a way that it took me most of the morning to commit a few files to source control if I was working from home. As bad as that sounds, it could be worse — if you were on a plane or somewhere without internet access, you wouldn’t be able to work at all, unless you had planned ahead of time to acquire an “offline” version of the code.
The first part of that actually sounds a lot like my experiance using CC from in the same office as the server. Holy elephant was CC slow.
OTOH working offline only required manually marking the file as writable in the file system. It's exclusive checkout model could make it a PITA if someone else grabbed a file you were working on while you were out; but one of you would end up swearing just as much if you were both online at the time. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
