You can just also use git annotate if you want to avoid the negativity.

Yup, wasn't defending this one :). Did the git annotate came after blame cause in the olden time I remember seeing the git blame example.

These days I mostly use IDEA's annotate feature and don't even know what's the command used in the backend.

They both came from the earlier `cvs annotate` command. annotate is the original name (from 1996). While it was common to talk about cvs annotate as 'blame', I think it first became the name of a command in subversion 0.32.0 (~2003, rcs blame was ~2004, cvs annotate grew the blame alias ~2008)

Subversion has blame, praise, and annotate depending on your mood. [1] Though I think blame was first.
