   I am not a big fan of how Synchronet works with git but I have created my own   
   update scripts to mitigate some of the main issues that it was causing me   
   without having to do this git stash crap every time I did changes and whatnot.   
   It's not perfect but it suits my needs. Git itself does provide some useful   
   tools for the developers and I like their bug reporting and it's easy to view   
   the code history.   
      
   3.20 has come a long way to help sysops get up and running quickly from when I   
   and a lot of other sysops started. There was no binkit integration, tickit   
   lacked some features, there was no automatic setting up of fido and FTN   
   networks with the init script or installation of doors and dosemu was hit and   
   miss. That said, there is still quite a learning curve and it's not just plug   
   and play, you have to understand all the terminology that goes with it, and   
   can be daunting task for many new sysops.   
      
   That said, again, there have been a bunch of new boards popup since I started   
   so there's people still out there interested in grinding at it. I don't want   
   it to sound like people have it easier these days...which I guess they do in a   
   way, no need to find separate mailers and tossers and get them working with   
   the bbs, but the need for knowledge is still there because you need to know   
   how they work together and interact with the bbs...sorry, I'm rambling...
