I agree with you 110%... git is powerful, but less intuitive. Thanks for all your hard work on Xdebug!

I think this is super cool! Is this in the interests of making it easier for 3rd parties to contribute?

I'm curious about the POC, too. I'm not a fan of Eclipse at all really (although it is somewhat of a necessary evil I suppose), and I've used this client in the past as a substitute:

http://code.google.com/p/gtk-xdebug-client/

I wonder how similar your POC is/isn't to that one, considering they are both GTK. That client was "ok", but it was lacking some key features and is only acceptable for very basic debugging. Ultimately, I'd love to see a lightweight (compared to Eclipse, which isn't saying much), robust, full-featured, stand-alone client with ample configurability and flexibility. I've never used GTK but perhaps I should look into it! :)

Thanks for all the work on xdebug, it's a lifesaver.

@ken: I had not heard of that client. It's in PHP-GTK though, whereas mine is in just GTK (in C). It works on Linux, and have it compile on Windows. Too many other spare projects right now though!

That's a bold comment, compairing git with CVS. Maybe you [sh,c]ould share your resentment in an extra blog entry. ;-)

I fail to understand why you use git(hub), if you don't like it at all. There must be something appealing about it.
