I wouldn’t call it laziness as such. I think of it more as overcoming the activation energy. Many of us have many todo items trying to grab our attention and it’s much easier sometimes to just give up and do something else that’s equally important. We obviously could all learn the hg/bitbucket workflow if the motivation was sufficiently high but for me a git/github workflow will always win out. As I said though, don’t change on my account.
