Git has very good safety even if you don’t know how to use it, provided you commit when you want something to be saved and you don’t rm the whole repo at the first sign of trouble.
I think my issue is that most people should not even know how this safety net works. But every other question about git on stack exchange seems to be "how do I recover from a failed rebase".
You have your wish: most people already don't even know how the safety net works. :P The existence of questions on a site designed to ask questions is not any indicator of how often rebase causes problems. Nobody posts to stack exchange every time it works and they're not confused. Aren't the questions on stack exchange a good thing, if what you want is for people to not have to learn the safety net? Just commit and rebase until there are problems, then if you get confused, go look up the answer on stack exchange or post a question if you don't see one already. Seems like the system is working?
