Why does Martin Fowler not understand feature branches?

>The reason why people think feature branches are for long-running epics is because that is the way that old school centralised tools have taught them to think. They’ve made branching and merging hard through poor tooling, algorithm support and architecture, so people do everything in trunk except for epics, then they run into problems and the whole pattern becomes self-reinforcing.

Very well self-assuring that git predecessors were complete idiots. Not even worth to read it further, probably.

Hi, author here.

As other commenters have noted, this post is seven years old. My position on feature branches has evolved (and softened somewhat as well) in the meantime.

I posted an update about 18 months ago:
