   I dislike git blame. It's hostile. It assume there is someone to blame. That someone did something wrong. That someone is at fault.

     @grumpygamer They added "git annotate" later because of this, but "git blame" remains so as not to break old scripts

     @sinbad @grumpygamer when I really got into git I think both were available already? I can't remember, but I write blame because old habits and is shorter and... I don't judge people (very often I find it was *me* anyway).

     Apparently annotate was first and blame was a different competing implementations:

     I'm not that familiar with git dev history, so I wonder if many of their features had rivals until one won and eliminated the other!
