Dr. Hipp occasionally gets on a soapbox and extolls the virtue of sqlite databases for use as an application file format. He also preaches about the superiority of Fossil over Git. His arguments generally make sense. I tolerate his sermons because he is one of the truly great software developers of our time, and a personal hero of mine.

The problem is that better is not an abstract measure. It is better at what, for what purpose, in what context? I like fossil in the abstract, but it isn’t integrated well into any of my tools; there is only one hosting service I know of; and they took away the wysiwyg option from the build in wiki (a preference of mine). So it isn’t better for me

Your better will be measured against different criteria, etc.
