Very weird for you to start a reply like this when we are literally debating it.
> You say "all of us"
Yes, I mean those of who don't use git-flow. That's what I meant by "all of us".

Do you live in a git-flow bubble or what? I've been using VCS since the dark ages of CVS. Moved to SVN. Mercurial. Git. Never worked in a team using git-flow. Never used git-flow myself. Never met anyone IRL who uses git-flow. I only read about these things on HN and blogs.
What kind of stats do you have to claim that this is the primary branching model. If I go by my experience, it's a minority branching model that only people living within the bubble care about.
> it's just a historical fact that's not really debatable.
What is a historical fact? That people use git-flow. Nobody is contesting that. What I am contesting is that the success of Git is not connected to git-flow like the grand-grand-parent comment said.
