Compared to checking out, working, and sending in a patch? no... it  
really isn't easier. At best, it is equivalent. At worst, it is a lot  
of extra mentarbation for no tangible benefit.

Git got popular in the last year or so thanks in part to github...  
Last I checked, there was a TON of open (and otherwise) source  
development being done for the 20+ years before that without it and we  
got along just fine. In my case, I got along better in part because  
git is a really sucky tool and because there was less software/tool/ 
process dogma/zealotry by a measurable amount.
